4. Test with a New Bulb

Replace the bulb with a new one that you know is functioning. If the new bulb works, the old one is indeed burnt out.

5. Fix Loose Wiring in the Lamp Socket (Optional)
If you suspect the wiring is loose:

Remove the Socket Cover: Carefully unscrew or pop off the lamp’s socket cover.
Inspect Wires: Check if the wires are securely connected to the terminal screws.
Tighten Loose Wires: Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws if necessary.

When to Replace the Bulb or Lamp

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, the bulb is likely beyond repair, or the lamp’s internal wiring is faulty. At this point, replacing the bulb or consulting an electrician is the safest option.

Always ensure the power is off before handling electrical components.
If you’re unsure about performing any repairs, consult a professional.
