Artemide Tolomeo switch replacement

Passo 1

Never forget to disconnect the power plug before starting repairs.

Passo 2

Carefully press the clamp apart, using a suitable tool if necessary.

Passo 3

The cover of the socket also has a flanged edge. Lift the cover together with the socket out of the clamp.

Passo 4

The socket is fixed at the top with a wide ring. This ring is secured against unscrewing by a small brass catch.

Passo 5

The cable is secured by a strain relief on the outside. Unscrew the plastic Allen screw until the cable is loose.

Passo 6

Slide the unit out of the switch and lamp socket.

Passo 7

Loosen the two small screws that connect the inner part of the socket and the switch to the two power supply lines.

Passo 8

Here is a picture of the switch. You can buy the complete set quite expensive from Artemide, because the socket has been machined by hand. This has the advantage that you can also renew the socket.
