Home fires can occur for numerous reasons: faulty electrical wires, oil fires from cooking, unattended candles, improperly disposed matches, natural disasters…but, they can also be caused by aging lamps.

Fires can be started in the socket of your favorite lamp after years of daily use. Most people don’t realize the huge levels of heat that build up in the wiring of a lamp. Over time, electrical components degrade, become brittle, and can become a fire hazard.

Here at Restoration Lighting Gallery, we never want a lamp fire to happen in your home. That is why we offer FREE lamp safety inspections. Simply bring in your lamp and our lighting experts will make sure it is fit for operation.

We will check the wiring, the socket and overall operation of the lamp. Should your lamp need repair or new parts, our repair specialists offer lamp repair services. We will also help you pick the right replacement parts from sockets, wires to pull chains. And, while you are here, why not check out our incredible stock of lamp shades and finials! Your lamp will leave safe, renewed and ready to shine.

Here are a few tips to keep your home safe from lamp fires:

1.    Take any older lamps that get daily use to Restoration Lighting Gallery for a FREE safety inspection.

2.    Always turn off your lamps before leaving your home for any period of time.

3.    Never install a bulb that is rated higher than the socket allows.

4.    Consider using LED bulbs in all lamps. They last 12 to 20 times longer than incandescent bulbs, are cool to the touch and use only 1/10 of the energy. Restoration Lighting Gallery & Connecticut Lighting Centers (located directly across the street from our showroom) carries an extensive collection of LED bulbs.

Visit our showroom to get your lamp inspected. It could save your valuable possessions, your home and even your life!
