So I just moved a few weeks ago and I had a lamp with a switch cord that was damaged. I removed the cord and went to Lowes and got another cord and new crimp sleeves but I didn't keep track of the neutral wire when I removed the old cord. I tried googling but didn't see any feedback with this particular type of lamp. The lamp is a stained-glass lamp with two bulbs in it. The top has a bulb and then the base has a bulb. There are two sets of wires both with black and white wires in the base to connect the cord. One set leads up to the top and the other is attached to the socket at the base. How do I need to wire the new cord. So where do I need to wire the ribbed portion of the new cord and where do I need to wire the smooth portion of the new cord? Thanks in advance.

Not seeing it I can't know for sure but most light bulbs polarity makes no difference. I played around with a mini screw in fluorescence bulb before posting this and it worked fine and drew the same amps regardless of polarity. Regular incandescent bulb absolutely work this way. As log as the current crosses the element you'll have light.

BTW- the skinny post on a plug in is usually hot and the wide one is ground or neutral. White's usually ground and blacks usually hot in households in the US.
