Lamp Repair NYC - Bring Your Lamp Back to Life

When a favorite lamp starts flickering, refuses to turn on, or feels unsafe to plug in, it changes the feel of the entire room. The shade you chose stays dark, the corner looks unfinished, and a piece you love ends up pushed to the side. 

At S. Feldman Housewares, we repair lamps so you can bring them back into daily use, rather than hiding them in a closet or tossing them out.

Trusted Lamp Repair in New York City for Over 90 Years

S. Feldman Housewares has been a neighborhood fixture on Madison Avenue and the Upper East Side since 1929, helping New Yorkers look after the tools and objects they live with every day. We repair lamps at our shop, 1304 Madison Avenue at 92nd Street, along with the lighting, bulbs, and hardware you already rely on.

We work on table lamps, floor lamps, desk lamps, and decorative fixtures, treating each one as something to preserve and improve, not just another problem to get off the counter. While your lamp is in for service, you're welcome to browse our lamp and light bulb selection to refresh other corners of your home.

Our Lamp Repair Services in New York City

Modern Lamp Wiring and Upgrades

If your modern lamp flickers, cuts out, or shows wear on the cord, we can rewire it to current safety standards. That might include replacing the cord, plug, socket, or switch, then testing everything together. 

Antique and Vintage Lamp Repair

Older lamps often combine beautiful bases and shades with wiring that hasn’t kept up with the decades. We can replace internal wiring, sockets, and switches while preserving the visible design, so you can keep using a treasured lamp safely in a modern apartment or townhouse. If the original shade is too fragile to save, we can help you find a good match from our lamps and shades. 

Designer Lamp and Fixture Repair

Designer lamps and statement fixtures often use delicate materials or unique fittings. We take extra care with these pieces, focusing on repairs that extend their life and preserve their look. 

Touch Lamps and Floor Lamps

From touch lamps that no longer respond properly to floor lamps with unstable bases, we can diagnose the fault and carry out the repairs needed to bring them back into everyday use. 

Common Lamp Issues We Fix

Many lamp problems look similar on the surface but have different causes. Some of the most common issues we see include:

• Flickering lights
  Often caused by loose connections, worn sockets, or aging wiring rather than the bulb itself.

• Lamps that won’t turn on
  Maybe due to a broken switch, damaged plug, internal wiring fault, or a combination of small issues.

• Burned or damaged sockets
  Overheating over time can wear down sockets and stop them from making proper contact with the bulb.

• Broken or stiff switches
  Common in older lamps, making them hard to use or unreliable.

• Loose or frayed wires
  A safety concern that develops through years of use, movement, or bending of cords.

When you bring your lamp in, we look at both the visible fault and the internal components, then recommend repairs that make sense for the age and importance of the piece. If you also need replacement bulbs or extension cords, we can help you choose those at the counter.

Our Lamp Repair Process in New York City

1. Drop Off Your Lamp

Bring your lamp to our Madison Avenue store during opening hours. For large floor lamps or particularly fragile pieces, you can call ahead using the details on our contact page so we can suggest the best way to bring them in.

2. Diagnostic and Clear Quote

We begin with a diagnosis to identify the fault and check related parts such as sockets, switches, and cords. Once we understand what’s needed, we give you a clear explanation and an estimated cost before any work begins.

3. Skilled Technician Repair

Our technicians carry out the agreed repairs using appropriate wiring, switches, sockets, and fittings. For antique and designer lamps, we take particular care to preserve visible finishes and details while updating the internal components that affect safety and performance.

4. Final Testing and Collection

Every repaired lamp is tested for function and stability before pickup. When you pick it up, we can talk you through what was done and any simple care tips that will help you keep it working well. 

Who Our Lamp Repair Service is Ideal For

Our lamp repair service is especially useful if you:

• Have a lamp with sentimental value that you’d rather repair than replace
• Own a designer or one-of-a-kind piece that needs expert, careful handling
• Live in an apartment or townhouse where lighting layout and atmosphere really matter
• Prefer to work with a long-standing local shop instead of sending items away to an unknown service center

If you’re not sure whether your lamp is worth repairing, you can bring it in, and we’ll give you an honest opinion before you decide. Many customers already trust us for Miele vacuum repair, knife sharpening, key duplication, and SodaStream CO₂ exchanges, so adding lamp repair feels like a natural extension of that relationship.
