Introduction
Rewiring a lamp is an easy process. Lamps can be very expensive if not bought at a discount or thrift store. If people are able to rewire their lamps from home, knowing this process would save money to buy an entirely new lamp. Most of these tools to rewire a lamp can be found in the average person's house. However, if they are not readily available available to the person fixing the lamp they will be able to purchase these items at the nearest Lowe's or Home Depot.
