Thread: Table Lamp Fitting

I found them in Ikea in Italy should be there too.

I think you will find that you can only purchase nylon nipples these days for safety reasons. You might also try "The Restoration Station" in Ashgrove, Brisbane as Jim sells a lot of the old traditional lights.

I know this is here in England but is this what you are after https://www.turners-retreat.co.uk/pr...1-2-back-plate

I have tried Haymans Electrical and Bunnings to no avail, I live in a regional area in Qld.

Many years ago I solved that problem using hard drawn copper tube. The thread was cut using a 1/2" brass thread die. But then I was making a lot of lamps.

I use them all the time and have just run out, my previous supplier is no more I have contacted a new supplier who may have local stock as soon as they get back to me I will post the results

Hi

I got them recently from Andrews Light Up store, at Logan after much ringing around. They have a few stores around Brisbane, not sure about elsewhere.

You need to ask for Lamp Nipple, Part # SKU 28180. They come in lengths of 255x10mm and were $2.50 each.

Hopes this helps.

I buy them from Woodturning Supplies, a Brisbane based mailorder supplier. The're called a 1/2" lamp holder nipple .$2 each.Ted

Jonell, is this what you are looking for Brass Lampholder Wood Nipple | City Electrical Factors

If so how many do you want, I found out a price but they are sourcing from the UK and the freight was rediculous, I am going to attempt find someone is SA who will make them, so obviously the more I order the better the price will be.

Thanks China
I'm in regional Qld so I'll try Turnerteds supplier in Brisbane.
