I have some lamp shades with inner metal parts, painted white, which have come apart. Will soldering allow me to repair them?

have you tried to clean the contact points real well then use a drop of crazy glue

I would say yes, as long as you sand of the metal, if paint is on it, to ensure the soldering is applied. Be careful as the soldering tip is extremely hot

The solder requires a heat source to cure. It will dry up, not cure, if left out exposed to the air. It won't dry up that much overnight it should still be curable.

You COULD with some effort and pliers, but it might not be able to undo. You will also fatigue the metal. If you do this, it should be with the understanding that it's a one time mod that can't really be fixed.

They are LEDs so not not user replaceable. But they will probably outlast the lamp itself.

Lamp comes with a sort of nuts to secure the glass shade and in order to prevent any damage rubber washers are in between glass and metal. Hope this help.

You can cut it to any length. The strip consists of Three LEDs are in a series circuit over and over again in parallel. If it's cut short only the other 1 or 2 won't work. There is no need for soldering. But I suggest sealing the end with hot glue to keep moisture out if it's used outdoors

I would Solder them . Better connect the cut and twist method . I have six strips tied together

There should be no problem doing that. You should tin the wires, solder, to prevent them from unraveling.

The real catch to soldering is more the using the right tinning then the solder it's self. Some like what i've linked below works for many metals (not well on stainless still, that requires a more specific tinning)Ruby Chemical 2OZ Liquid Rubyfluid

No, the bottom silver piece comes off and the shade can be removed. And then, you can change the bulb.

No. It's not a lamp. It's an LED. There really should not be a need to replace it. If the diode fails then I suppose I would chase DeWalt for a replacement flashlight. If you are somehow wanting to change to a different circuit and LED, then surgery, maybe(?)

If you go to a good electronics store they should sell a tool that sleeves the metal part of the connector once sleeved over the pin it pulls out of the plastic. Maybe Radio shack or Hi lights. You could also cut the wires and solder them back together. Putting "Heat Shrink Tubing" over the wires prior to soldering . Once soldered use a match to heaat the tubing and it will shrink around the wires thus insulating them. BE SURE TO REATTACH COLOR TO COLOR. I would also stagger the cuts to make the finished product not as bulky. Don't know if its worth the extra work just as ez to put in a matching wood filler Good luck If you go to a good electronics store they should sell a tool that sleeves the metal part of the connector once sleeved over the pin it pulls out of the plastic.

Yes, just cut the wires from the glass bulb close to the metal base contact, pull the bulb out, bend the LED wires out straight, push into the base, bend the wires over and force down into the groove of the metal contact and flush against the contact side. first one takes a while, second one is quick.LED are much better, the bulbs burn the base and sometimes melt it. This bulb is a safety hazard.

No, beacause the heat of the lamp will burn the plastic, exept if the light is led type.

I'm not sure, but I did glue two metal together. This is highly flammable be careful.

The entire LED assembly would have to be replaced. Perhaps Stanley will sell the part.

Possibly. Depending on how secure you want them, you could glue. I wouldnt recommend drilling holes because they are fairly thin and you'd likely destroy some LEDs on the edge or some of the circuit board.
