  1. I needed some wire because of LED lighting.

    LED light bulbs are great, but they're heavier than the old incandescent ones. So my cheap knock-off desk lamp kept sagging from the weight.

    I *could* find a new set of springs with a larger spring constant. But an easier fix is to restrict part of each spring, effectively making them shorter, and resisting a larger weight. Works fine!
