Step 2Disassembling the desk lamp
First up I removed the cover on the lamp head to check out what's inside and what can be re-used for this project (or later projects).

Remove the two screws and the wing nut. This will allow you to remove the bottom cover.

The bottom cover is off and the switch and base for the fluoro tube can be clearly seen.
Image 4
As you can see, the switch has not got any srew terminals for the electrical connections. The terminals are of the type where the cable is pushed in and is locked in place automatically.
To release the cables I had to carefully push in with a small screw driver to release the cable lock.
