<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jeff Drum, post: 618417, member: 6444&quot;]These can certainly be rewired, but it takes some time and may not be worth it unless you want it for yourself. And frankly I think the previous owner has already done it for you - that does not look like the original wiring, so it was probably redone in the 80&#039;s or so (when that clear wire was being used a lot). I am comfortable around electricity (I shocked myself numerous times as a kid and have learned what is safe and what isn&#039;t), so if I didn&#039;t see any wear on the wire, I would try putting in bulbs and turning it on. Don&#039;t do it if it makes you nervous, however. The small switch controls the three small bulbs separately (one, two, three, off), so you&#039;ll have to keep turning to get them all on or all off.</p><p><br /></p><p>You&#039;ll probably find the central light socket is too large for a normal bulb, but you can buy an adapter to screw into the socket so you can use a normal US bulb (existing is probably an Edison 40 also called a mogul bulb, and normal US lights are Edison 27; E40 to E27 adapters that you simply screw in are readily available).</p><p><br /></p><p>I recognize the F on the switch; I know I have some similar lamps with similar switches, but can&#039;t remember who made them. They are from an electrical parts supplier anyway, and not the name of the company that made the lamp.</p><p><br /></p><p>I see a lot of these lamps cheap and don&#039;t think there is much demand, but maybe you&#039;ll have luck where you&#039;re located. You sometimes see one of the replacement glass shades at thrift stores cheap since they are an odd size and no one knows what they are for. They are just plain frosted glass, like this one:</p><p><img src="https://ebth-com-production.imgix.net/2013/04/13/21/35/30/332/100_1906.JPG?ixlib=rb-1.1.0&amp;w=880&amp;h=880&amp;fit=max&amp;crop=&amp;auto=format" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
