I believe you can buy a module that you screw into the lamp socket that converts a regular lamp to a "touch" lamp at Home Depot.

Flux capacitor? let me know if you find one.

[clarissaexplainsitall]

No, but I have a Flux Capacitor if you're interested in any time travel.

I had the same problem. I just replaced it with a standard lamp switch. If you cannot find the capacitor type you might try that approach.

Are there any markings, such as .0001mfd or such?

Hey, what is this, The Home Depot DIY site? I thought this was the Free Republic?

[Fierce Allegiance]

Ping!

[azhenfud]

junk it or better yet, sell it on E-Bay and get your money back out of it while you can still cut your losses...

Welcome to the DIY forum of home repairs. Free Republic has now been taken over by your local Home Depot.

I remember back in the eighties when we got some of those and some relatives were over. My mother asked me to explain to them how these new lights worked, so I went through all the details about the capacitor and how capacitors work etc etc. My younger brother came in after that and was asked the same question. His reply, "It works with your finger!"

Is the lamp logged on?
