Where is the fuse in a lite source floor lamp?
Well, I'm in my new apartment and thank heavens I didn't throw the 2nd one away when it died a few years ago, although I purchased about 3 bulbs before realizing it just wasn't going to light. Another almost $300 down the drain would not be cool. So I found the fuse but I can't see a name on it or anything. How do I know what to replace it with?
This is the info on the dimmer. It's a model SC-233A foot dimmer, 120 volts, 600W max. I am at the ready to click on Amazon or Home Depot to order. Thank you in advance for helping me light my home again. I am SO excited! Thank you in advance all you handy ladies and gentlemen. I know this isn't quite a craft question but it sure is a do it myself question and you guys are always so helpful.

Jean Myles on Feb 19, 2016Your not alone I didn't know they had fuses . LOL I would write the info down and take the fuse with you to either a lighting store or a home improvement store. Some one at either should know what all those number and letters mean and help you. Good luck and enjoy your lamp.Helpful Reply

John Grimley on Feb 20, 2016This device would need a 5Amp fuse. Using the formula W=VA, 600w = 120v * A, 600/120 = A therefore A = 5Helpful Reply
