I'm hoping someone can tell me if I have a potentially lethal table lamp (or that I was simply daft when changing a bulb).
I went to change the bulb on this lamp and forgot to switch off the socket at the wall. I took the old bulb out but when I went to put the new one in I tilted the lamp to the side and the switch under the bulb slipped to 'on'. I touched the lamp near where the new bulb was about to be inserted and got a huge shock with a right blue arc. Daft forgetting to switch off at wall and unlucky that the lamp switch slipped but would this (the shock) have happened with any lamp in this situation or is it a dodgy lamp?
advice please
