Questions & Answers

My vent hood switch has four settings: off, light on, light off fan on, and light on with fan on. Is it possible to accomplish that with this switch?

This was combined with a three-light lamp. It was either 1) off, 2) one light on, 3) first light off and other two lights on, or 4) all three lights on. 2) It did not turn off the light as effectively as turning off the power and turning on the other two lights. There were one off and three different on configurations, as far as I understood how it worked. Having said that, I don't believe it will meet your needs.

What is the size of the shank? 3/8-inch inch (5/8-inch) inch?

3/8" dia. x 5/8" long

Is this something that would work if 1) only the left side was turned on? 2) Turn off the left side and turn on the right side only- 3) both sides with the light bridge on, 4) everything off?

I apologize, but I'm not sure what you're asking. I'll demonstrate how the switch works by comparing its operation to that of a lamp. Let's say you have two lightbulbs in your lamp that need to be powered. Your first setting will only turn on bulb 1 while leaving bulb 2 off. Bulb 1 will be turned off when you turn the switch back on, but bulb 2 will be turned on. Both light bulbs will now be turned on when the switch is turned to the third position. I hope this information is useful.

Is it possible to take off the brass cap? Is the theaded nipple beneath the cap made of plastic or brass, if that's the case?

There is no way to remove the brass cap.

My lamp has been saved
5/5

This small switch could not be found in any of the big box stores. In less than ten minutes, I was able to save my floor lamp from the trash. I opened the lamp, took out the old switch, and reassembled it. Unfortunately, it took two tries because I needed to adjust the depth of the switch using the switch's nuts.

My Stiffle Lamp is now working properly
5/5

I recently replaced the three-way switch in my wonderful 1980s Stiffle lamp. br>It's a heavy solid brass table lamp, which Stiffle was famous for at the time. br>This is in excellent condition and fits and functions perfectly. It is very simple to replace. It appears to be the same three ways that the lamp had.

It gets the job done
3/5

It's a strange switch in that you have to press down on the know to get it to work. br>br>However, it appears to be unavailable in your area, so Amazon is a godsend. br>br>Be sure to photograph the old switch before disassembling it, as these can be difficult to get right. Because my lamp had all white wires, my lights went from two bulbs to one bulb to one bulb before I fixed it.

Similar lamp switches can be replaced with this switch
5/5

It was simple to put together in a small space, it worked well, and it saved a lovely lamp. It would be great if it came with small, insulated wire connectors.

5/5

In a three-bedroom house, I replaced a broken switch. floor lamp with multiple lighting options The wires were different colors, but the switch was set up in the same way. It took me 15 minutes to complete this task.

I have a hobby shop where I make stools, tables, chairs, cabinets, and lamps, all of which are simple to use
5/5

br>I made a lot of bottles lamps with a night light on the bottom half and an incandescent light on the top. This switch allows the lights to operate independently or simultaneously. br>Easy to install, and wiring instructions are included on the package.

I found exactly what I needed
5/5

I took a chance on this product after searching every local hardware store and coming up empty-handed, and it turned out to be exactly what I needed to repair a lamp that I didn't want to replace due to a faulty switch. This is a well-made item that went together quickly and easily in my lamp. I'd buy it again if I needed one, and I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a good lamp or appliance replacement switch.
