The lamp is a stupid relic but its my fav.
How to fix a wobbly outdoor lamp post. There was a gravel delivery this morning a rather careless one IMO. With a flat head screw driver pry the shell top metal of the socket from the cap bottom of the socket. Most sockets have a place marked To remove press.
If the circuit is tripped locate the problem within the circuit wiring. Unfasten the screws at the base of the fixture and lift it off the post. We need to remove the socket to replace the broken neck and get access to the top nut.
Locate the circuit breaker which provides power to the light switch and make sure it is not tripped. Then straighten the cable and push it down into the post. Dig out the post.
You will notice that this socket base. In the front yard is a gas lamp that has been neglected for many years. I grabbed the teflon.
Secure Set How to fix a wobbly post. This lamp is held together with one threaded rod from base to socket. Theres a good possibility the post can be repaired and again bolted to the concrete base.
Cut the wires leading into the post with a pair of wire cutters. If not repaired maybe just the pole can be replaced. If you have an ugly and faded lamp post in your yard then I have a quick and easy project for you today.
