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 #IKEA #Anglepoise 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!
