will this convert a regular lamp into a touch lamp? Does the lamp base need to be metal

1) Yes. 2) Yes, It needs a metal part on your lamp that you can touch, and you have to connect that part of metal to one of its wires.

I did not convert a lamp to touch. But as an electrican the base of the lamp Has to be Metal so it can work.

I would expect that it would work in an architect desk lamp. It is not that heavy that it would make the lamp unuseable.

I doubt this will work on the lamp in the picture. The Adapter in my opinion is to converter a lamp base that does not use a "harp" to one that uses a "harp".

No, it's metal. it's a really nice product. Just don't touch the bulb with your fingers.

No, it doesn't. However you can buy a plug, attach it to the wire of the lamp and then plug it into a standard outlet.

Not sure what the metal is? The cord comes out the top back side of the base like an original lamp. Very happy with my purchase.

Yes, but I wouldn't purchase this lamp. Mine only lasted a few weeks before it shorted out and stopped working.

The base is metal, and it's superior to other lamps we've installed. The bulb is well protected. I left all outside this past Minnesota winter, and all are working today. It's a good product.

As far as I can tell, the stand itself is metal. I think if it was resin it would be much lighter. This is very heavy, and feels totally like metal.The lamp itself is very sturdy, and when lit is quite lovely. We are very pleased with this lamp. Nothing about it seems cheap...not even the base.Hope this helps. Of course, Amazon always takes returns...so you don't have to worry...but we really like it.

The reading lamp does require a lamp with a smaller base, but it doesn't have to be a type B bulb. I recently got a Type A15 that fits it just fine. The key is to get a lamp that works in any position (upside down) so that you don't burn the lamp out as quickly. The lamp that came with the unit burned out in no time, probably because it was not designed to be used upside down. I hope this helps.

I would say no as the lamp is (in my opinion) rather flimsily made. I returned mine since the stand came bent and could not even be put together.

This did not work on my lamps as there was no metal for it to come in contact with. This question IS very vague, this part has nothing to do with the glass on a lamp.

This lamp uses 40w light bulb and you can purchase the light bulb at Amazon.com, you can just type "OK Lighting touch lamp light bulb" and search.

Jerry: I'd love to answer this question, but I don't know what this base is. I can tell you I love this lamp. It is heavy duty an puts out tons if light w/o getting hot, which is perfect for me. My only regret is not getting the one with the magnifying glass. My eyes aren't what they use to be:-)

In my experience it is technically a one-touch lamp, but depending on the accuracy of my hitting the center of the button, and perhaps the softness of my tap, I sometimes have to tap it twice. And, to be sure, it may be "user error" but I also usually have to tap it once more to adjust it to my preferred lowest setting. Nevertheless, I find the lamp overall an excellent one that I'd recommend to anyone.

Yes. But ensure the lamp has a ceramic casing. I had one case where it started to melt the plastic casing.
