ameijers, thanks for the info. How hard is it to wire the switches?
Can you get them from places like Lowes?

Pretty easy, really- unplug the lamp (duh!), unscrew the nut on the switch,
and then the joint in the middle of the pole to get to the switch, fish it
out, cut the wires on the lamp side of the connectors, connect the new
switch with new wirenuts or insulated crimps, and reassemble. Most places
like Lowes have the switches. It helps to take the old switch along to match
the sizes, especially the switch barrel that sticks through the hole. Don't
forget to buy the wirenuts or crimp connectors, if they are not included in
the bag with the switch. Only tools needed are strippers and maybe slipjoint
pliers to get the nut off the old switch. Note that the pretty plastic trim
knob from the old switch probably won't fit the new one, so all you will
have sticking out is the skinny knurled knob. You may wanna remove the bulb
and glass guard thingie before you start to reduce chances of breakage.
