Lutron LC 300H is a switch/dimmer. I replaced the on/off switch on the cords of two lamps with it and they work on both my lamps perfectly.

Since when you install this, you will cut the cord and put the two ends of the wire in each end of this new dimmer. You don't need to strip the wire or anything. Very easy. Since this is a dimmer and an on/off switch, you would have no need for the original on/off switch. I suggest you cut the cord at the old switch, and it would be replaced by this new dimmer on/off switch. hope this helps

Yes, you can use it on a lamp that has an on/off switch. The clean way to do it is to replace the existing switch. That way, you are replacing the on/off with an on/off/dimmed switch. You could also just add the switch to the cord, but then you will have to make sure that both switches are in the on position for it to turn on (this dimmer could be dimmed for it to work, but the other switch would have to be on).

My 3-way switch stopped working, which is why I went to this option. But it seems like a 3-way switch would work once you got the lamp turned on with the foot switch. The foot switch is just for ON/OFF.

Depends on where the outlet is and where you are placing the lamp. I don't think there is enough room to coil up the cord behind the lamp itself.

The on/off switch is on the cord below where the cord comes out of the metal shaft. If the lights are placed where the bottom of the lampshade is about 65 inches high, then it will be easy to reach.

I rebuilt a hanging lamp with this setup. It should be fine. It's got one of those roller switches on it if you're ok with those.

Sorry, I can't help. I used this fixture in a rental unit and it is wired to use the switch on the fixture onlyMy guess is that if it is hardwired to the wall switch you will need to keep the fixture on and just use the wall switch. That is true with lamps that are plugged into a wall outlet that is wired to a wall switch.

I'm not sure. It won't work the 3-way bulb like the lamp is designed, but it should still work as a dimmer with whatever bulb is in the lamp.

hello thank you fro the question and interest. Yes this will work on a dimmer switch and the color are darker when not lit

Grisselle, I don't have the lamp you have so I cannot be sure. However, I would suspect the bulb to not be bright enough for a hanging work lamp. It appears to be a similar design, but; if you want an exact replacement for your lamp go to http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200323694_200323694 for the recommended replacement.

it only has one cord and it is long so it should not be a problem putting it as a swag lamp. They sell the toggle switch at home improvement stores. If you have difficulties splicing it together bring it to a lamp repair shop and they will do it for you.

If it fits into the lamp it will work. I used it on my cabinet lighting where there was plenty of room. I've installed similar items in my lamps with no issues but made sure they fit OK first.

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".

This should work as long as the power source is 110V AC and the lamp unit has a 2-prong plug. This can also be installed mid-way an extension cord and the lamp.

This is strickly for on and off. So yes it will work with anything. Now the lamp fixture is another story

I am not sure if it will work the way you want it to. I am using it as a dimmer switch for a lamp.

yes. you always leave the lamp / fixture on and control it with the switch you stick on the wall. they also sell a plug / receptacle control that you plug into the wall and then plug your lamp into that.
