  • Does anyone know how to rewire old lights like these? Was gonna buy these from an old brocante in France but before I do....

    I was assuming that you intertwine the new wire to the old one, put electric tape on the join, then unscrew the bulb fastening thing and draw the cable through....?

    Worried that the new and old cable will separate inside the unit as it is so curly and then it will be impossible to rethread.

    Any ideas?

  • Seems like that should work. If you had no cable to pull through you could probably vacuum a piece of cotton through the twist and use it to pull through a string then a cable.

  • Whatever you do, I'd be keen to earth the metal body of the light while you're at it.
