On the socket is a gold and a silver screw. The gold screw is where the hot -black- wire goes and the silver screw is where the neutral -white- wire goes. Wrap the wires around the terminals in the direction that the screw turns. This is important. If you wrap the wire in the wrong direction then the connection will not be as good. With the wire wrapped around the terminal simply tighten the screws down to hold them in place. And you are finished wiring the lamp! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c80528ffbf2750e4506823/29f766d0-18de-42c6-a00e-9330e6339ef4/lineUp.webp Blog - DIY Industrial Steam Punk Pipe Table Lamp If you took pictures of the socket before disassembling it then reference those, otherwise simply line the bump on the socket body with the notch on the base and push the two halves together being careful not to pinch the wires. Then tighten the ring down and tighten the set screw. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c80528ffbf2750e4506823/f0a874cd-2e60-4710-9e14-fcd7545c1e3a/feet.webp Blog - DIY Industrial Steam Punk Pipe Table Lamp - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c80528ffbf2750e4506823/5ba1c724-5c06-4b46-ab38-b7e8e04ad314/feetInBase.webp Blog - DIY Industrial Steam Punk Pipe Table Lamp - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.mattysgear.com/blog/kayaking-padleboarding-cold-water-gear-checklist monthly 0.5 2026-01-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c80528ffbf2750e4506823/5977a172-193c-48cc-b9ff-e8369af7048c/kokatat.jpg Blog - Paddle Sports Cold Water Gear Checklist - And One Thing Nobody Thinks About! - Kokatat Drysuit Kokatat makes the best drysuits for paddle sports and they have the best customer service. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c80528ffbf2750e4506823/9bf059fd-f872-46eb-846c-711cad67cb0b/wetsuit.jpg Blog - Paddle Sports Cold Water Gear Checklist - And One Thing Nobody Thinks About! - O’Niell Wetsuit O’Niell has been in the wetsuit game for a long time and they make great quality suits https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/65c80528ffbf2750e4506823/ae91e0b2-b39c-40d4-9397-ef16b209db07/thermals.jpg Blog - Paddle Sports Cold Water Gear Checklist - And One Thing Nobody Thinks About! - Poly Undergarments Why pay high prices for fancy undergarments that aren’t going to help you anymore than these?
