Question for an Electrician: I bought kind of an expensive lamp and my boyfriend got a thing from Walmart?

Question

and installed it that makes it a (3 times) tap light. Also, the thing he installed is a little taller than the thing that was in there to hold the bulb so the shade wont attach. We put a 60 watt oven light in to make it fit. Are we s******g it up or is it okay? Please help because I just bought a 2nd lamp just like it.

My deal was that I either wanted a chain to turn my lamp on or a tap light and he installed the tap light. The lamp will hold a 100 watt bulb, but I don't think I'll find a 100 watt bulb small enough like the oven light I'm currently using. Thanks!

Answer 1

No your oven light is good but if it was me i would take off your husbands thing from walmart and tell him to go mow the  grass

Answer 2

as long as you dont excede the 100 watt limit I don't think it can hurt anything

Answer 3

Your not going to have the look that you wanted, but that bulb want hurt anything.If you put the shade back on , make sure that the bulb don't hit the side's of the shade and melt it.
