Step 2Free up the lamp cable
The lampan lamp from IKEA is great. For $5 you get a little plastic lamp and a 7W CFL light bulb. All we need is the cord inside the lamp, though. It would be great if it was easy to separate the lamp body and the cord, but it's pretty firmly attached.
So put on a pair of safety glasses, grab a pair of of pliers and go to town. Keep snapping off pieces of plastic until all that is left is the cord itself. This only takes a couple minutes.

Just a side note ... you can buy a socket and cord for lamp projects ...and I don't think they are much more expensive .....Very cool project though... this may be one I actually do =P

True, but this bulb plugs into a different cord with a narrower socket and to get both for $5 is great.
