Plug-in bedside lamps are convenient because they don't have to be plugged into a wall. This is an accent light, so use a low wattage bulb so heat doesn't build up inside the vase.
We use a silver vase. Drill a hole in the center to accommodate the cable, then drill smaller holes around the center for heat ventilation. Make a minimum of three ventilation holes.
Cut the cable to the length you need - it will plug into a wall, so a little longer is better.
Secure the wire to the plant hanger with twist ties or electrical tape the same color as the hanger. Leave enough wire to go through the vase and a little more to work with.
Determine the number of chain links you need to connect the plant hanger to the vase. Use a chain as an anchor inside the vase by bending it with the pliers.
Connect the cable to the socket. Strip both ends of the socket wires. Connect the neutral wire, the one with the ridge on its insulation, to the silver terminal and the other wire to the brass terminal. Place the socket on the lamp, passing the cable through the socket cap. Reinstall the insulating boot and socket housing, pushing the housing until it clicks into place. Once the plug is in place, place the switch near the edge of the bed on the cord. Follow the instructions in the switch package to install.
