Yep, if you've successfully daisy-chained a socket you could have a permanent
dimming of the other socket's bulb.


What does daisy chaining mean? Series? Parallel? The bulbs should
be wired in parallel, in which case the repair should not cause any
dimming. This is a repair of a simple lamp right? Not some screwball
science experiment?

Of course we;ll never know, this is likely one of those one hit wonders
from HomeMoanersHub.



However, I would think that would only
apply to Incandescent and Halogen bulbs and not to CFL's nor LED's. Since, I
haven't ever experienced the effect with the low wattage bulb types with their
circuitry and transformers or ballasts.
