Free: Broken Globe Lamp (Darnley) Globe lamp with broken stand. Fell off shelf and the base broke where it connects to the stand. The light still works, globe itself isn’t damaged and it’s all complete. Just the base part is broken. Maybe components could be reused or repaired? Someone else is offering a broken globe with a complete stand, so both should work together perfectly!

Free: Tripod Lamp (Darnley) Gifted Lovely taupe coloured tripod lamp with light grey coloured shade. THE LAMP IS NOT CURRENTLY WORKING but I think it’s a wiring issue at the top of the lamp where the bulb fitting is, as it flickered on and off when touching this part right before it stopped working altogether. (as though wiring was loose). I have tried a new bulb and a new fuse and this hasn’t fixed it. I think it should be an easy fix to sort the wiring at the top of the lamp for someone who knows what they are doing.
