Review: Reliable Lamp Repair Solution That's Easy to Use - This Creative Hobbies lamp cord has been perfect for repairing my vintage floor lamp that had a damaged cord, providing UL listed safety and quality at a fraction of what I would have paid for professional repair. The 12-foot length gives plenty of working room for most lamp projects, and the SPT-1 18 gauge wire is exactly what's needed for standard household lamps without being overkill. I appreciate that it comes ready to use with proper insulation and clear wire identification, making the installation straightforward even for someone with basic electrical skills. The black color blends well with most lamp designs, and the cord feels substantial and well-made compared to cheaper alternatives that might create safety concerns. While you'll need basic electrical knowledge and tools to install it properly, this cord offers excellent value for DIY lamp repair and has given my old lamp many more years of reliable service - definitely worth doing the repair yourself rather than replacing a perfectly good fixture.
Review: Great, safe, replacement cord. Lots of info ahead... - Has been working out really well. While I'm not a professional electrician, and electrical repair and such is a hobby, it is something that I have become extremely knowledgeable about over the many years I've had experience with these things. Changing out an electrical cord is about as simple as you will get for a household electrical repair. This cord is 18 Gauge is good for maybe a 60 watt bulb, but if you're using this for LED bulbs, then you're absolutely fine. Remember, with wire gauges, the higher the number, the thinner the bundle of wires, or solid wire is. So 16 gauge is thicker wire and able to handle more current (or a larger bulb if you want to talk in terms of lamps). This is stranded wire, so a bunch of hair-thin wires which are all bundled to act as a large wire, but have flexibility to it. This cord is pretty easy to work with; especially since it has SPT-1 thickness insulation. There's also SPT-2 thickness insulation, which is slightly thicker and can be surprisingly more difficult to work with. So even though this is SPT-1 and therefore has slightly thinner insulation, it's very safe and acceptable for use. The big advantage is that it'll actually fit through plenty of lamps without having to struggle. At the base of the lamp socket, don't forget the UL-type knot, since that prevents the wire from getting pulled out and creating a short or electrifying part of the lamp. If you haven't re-wired, or wired a lamp before, I'd probably find some videos and do some reading. Be cautious though. There's a lot of bad practices described, some of which are just dangerous. Make sure the polarity is correct. That's also a hint on whether you have found a good guide or not. If they don't mention polarity, then find another resource. With all US NEMA 1-15P (Type A Polarized) plugs, the thinner blade is the "hot wire" and that's supposed to connect to the tip/bottom of the bulb socket. The wider blade is the neutral and it connects to the part that goes around the circumference of the bulb. The reason polarity is important is because if it's backwards, the light should still work, but then when you turn off the lamp, you could end up with the lamp still having live current available. So in that case, you could get a shock, or worse. This is just a wiring thing, in general and not specific to this cord. Overall, this cord is really quite great and for the price, I certainly have no reservations. Again, I'm very comfortable with this cord's quality/safety as long as you know or learn how to wire it up correctly.
