Does anyone have an alternative suggestion for the repair, rather than replacing the entire lamp?

The three images are of the broken base of pole, broken base of pole with the screw as it should be placed, and the metal base of the floor lamp that the pole sits upon.

There does not appear to be very much surface area of the base to be able to glue the screw collar to, but any further comments would be very much appreciated.

Two further images submitted as very kindly requested. Does that help you at all?

At this point, I am wondering whether it is possible to place a washer inside the base and another (larger diameter) one outside the base passing the existing screw through both and securing in place with a reasonable quantity of Epoxy Resin adhesive. Would that work, do you think?

John

The circular discs on the sides look like some type of cover plug, but the plastic is fairly soft and I don't know how to remove them (if that's even necessary) without damaging them.

I also see a tiny Allen set screw holding the hinge to the tube, but again—I don't know if it's worthwhile removing it.

Even if I could disassemble it I have no idea if the hinge can be tightened.

Alternatively, is there anything I could spray into the hinge to tighten it? I've seen someone use moldable plastic to tighten the joints on a Godzilla figurine, but they disassembled the figure first. That video mentioned said they used to use Pledge Floor Care, but after a trip through the looking glass it appears that Pledge Floor Care has been reformulated and won't work the same any longer.

So... any ideas on dismantling the hinge, or on something like Loctite to make the hinge a little grabbier?

Thanks so much!

Is it fixable? The one that we have has a gooseneck. The bulb is actually 4 bulbs in one. The bulb works fine.

I was thinking some kind of metal bracket that can be attached, tightened with screws and then painted brown. I'm just not sure if such piece exists. I'd be fine with any kind of cheap, safe way to do it without having to replace the whole thing. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Details about the make and model here: http://amzn.eu/d/ftMo7vc .

It uses halogen bulbs which explain that the potentiometer is rated at 300W which is absourdely large and inefficient. If I had a way to upgrade the lamp to an LED light bulb I would have a go with it, although I am afraid that will overcomplicate things.

Thanks Vasilis. I realise now that my question is missleading. I was referring to the complete electronic package as a whole, including the dimmer and the electronic transformer. I tried to find it in Rapid Online without success. I image the package is too specific to be bought. Unfortunately I do not have the tools or the skills to identify exactly where is the fault.

Grateful if someone can point me to a website where I can get a similar power supply for the LED lamp. Love the lamp, don't want to just discard it.

Many thanks!
