Title: Brass Wall Lamp Switch Replacement 1998
Post by: Realmccoy on April 10, 2020, 03:23:33 pm
My wall mounted lamps in living room and bedroom have been switched over to LED bulbs in the original sockets. I never know when they will work as the switches are all defective. I pulled one and tried to get it apart, but it is well sealed. OEM was a on/off 12v DC 4 amp low profile switch. A search for the original switches ended up several dead ends, so I found this on EBAY.

They came promptly and can be purchased in lots of 2. I replaced all four switches and now the lamps work. Not bright brass, but I'm not going to sweat the details of switch color.

The ones I bought from FT parts work, and match the lamps.
