Step 10Test
Stand the lamp up, plug it in and turn on the switch. If you have done it right, you should get a soft white diffused lighting from your lamp.
It is not quite as bright as the original lamp, and it is more diffused. I use this as my reading lamp and the new light has been working fine. However, I did mount it a little high in the housing. I plan to go back in and drill a new hole in the bracket about an inch lower to move the bulb down where it can't be seen from across the room. I did not replace the cage as the cfl is a cool bulb and the purpose of the cage was to keep things away from the original hot 300 Watt 'T' bulb

My touchier has a 3-way switch and a 3-way bulb, not a halogen. So, instead of replacing the switch, I will wire in two lamp sockets with two different wattage bulbs and have the choice of three light levels from the switch.
