[time-nuts] [OT] Ikea Lamp

[Bob Camp]

Hi

But wouldn't cutting and splicing the wire void the warranty and possibly
thus lead to the end of civilization as we know it....

Where is the AC to DC conversion done? In a lot of these it's in the base.

Bob

The base is a lump of metal

But the swan-neck is just screwed into the base (some assembly :-)
so if you are comfortable with cutting the wire and splicing it
again, you can mount it on anything you can drill a 10mm hole in...

Never attribute to malice what can adequately be explained by incompetence.
