With all the more important issues I've been dealing with, the couch lamp is further down my list, but a recent post reminded me that I need to get around to it.
I have the standard brass looking lamp fixed on the small platform behind our J couch. The problem is that it has been falling apart, and as much time as I've spent trying to fix it, it falls apart while under way.
Has anyone found a suitable 12 lamp to take its place? I could also rewire a house lamp if I have to, but it would have to be a nice one. The problem of course, is that to clear the wall, it needs to be on an articulated arm.
Check out West Marine, they have a nice collection of 12v lamps. I replaced several on my coaches. They used to have an online catalog.
Gustafson Lighting supplied the wall lamps to FT. Their web site does not have a catalog - web site is being rebuilt. 574-522-0871 Connie Seniff was very helpful with my recent call.
Here's one of those niche industries that I couldn't find last December when I tried to replace the OEM "Map/Cocktail Table Lamp" from the '90s. I ended up in a snooty lamp shop(pe) that made the flat rate at MOT/FOT blush. ouch.
When you see our preserved lamp, say something fairly complimentary if Kathleen is within earshot, please.
I took mine apart, painted it but some of the plastic is deteriorating. Plus getting a new shade had been a issue. So far its on the to do list to put it back together. But now I might just leave it off. Didn't like it anyway.....
If you find a residential light fixture you like, no need to rewire if you get a 12v Edison base or candelabra base lamp....
I threw my old ones out.. they were just like your and replaced all of mine with this style.. need to go led on the bulb but I like them.
Where did you get these David??

Cant remember exactly where I found mine but this is the same one
Actually this is the same lady I bought mine from.. whatever you decide to get.. the walls on the interior have a hard shell to get through and I bent a couple of the screws that came with them. Pre-drill maybe?
