Convert a 300 Watt Torchiere Lamp into a Dual 20 Watt CFL

Step 11Doubling down

Doubling down
At the suggestion of lemonie, I have added a second 20 Watt CFL to double the light output. This increases the cost by all of $2.87 for a second lamp socket. As the bracket was purchased as a set of 4, and the lamp thredded nipples and nuts came with exrtras there was no extra cost there. I also used about 12 inches of scrap wire and 2 small wire nuts from my junk box, again no increase in cost.

I also lowered the position of the lamp in the bowl by about an inch. And cut off about an inch of the brackets that were sticking up. Lowering the lamp involved drilling a new hole in the original bracket.

To make room, I turned the original bracket about 30 degrees.
