Hello,

I’m looking to rewire a couple of old table lamps and a floor lamp. All brass / metal.

The floor and newer table lamp have brass bayonet lamp holders with what I think is an earth terminal on the outside and two terminals inside.

Am I correct in thinking that the earth goes into the outside terminal and live and neutral can go in either terminal inside? (not marked live/neutral)

The other table lamp is antique brass & metal and has no lamp holder / cable. Can I fit a similar brass lamp holder as above here and connect as above? Or are there any other steps or considerations?

Appreciate any advice.

Thanks

If you mean a lamp holder like this, then yes.
And FYI it matters not which way round the live and neutral go, as you can take the lamp out, turn it 180 degrees and put it back, so in effect swapping live and neutral.

Thanks S-E.

Yes the lamp holders are exactly like that.
