Overview

The GE 54616 is a straightforward 8-foot polarized replacement lamp cord designed to restore function to lamps and fixtures with damaged, frayed, or worn-out wiring. The cord features a molded two-prong polarized plug, meaning one blade is wider than the other to ensure the hot and neutral connections are maintained in the correct orientation. It is UL listed with a maximum electrical rating of 125VAC/10A/1250W, and GE specifies that it should not be used with bulbs exceeding 300W.

At 8 feet, the cord is longer than many standard replacement cords, giving users more flexibility in lamp placement relative to wall outlets. The brown finish is intended to match traditional lamp styles and wood-toned interiors. Installation requires basic wiring knowledge — connecting the cord's leads to the lamp socket terminals — and GE includes instructions to guide the process. Beyond lamp repair, the cord can also serve as a power lead for small DIY electronics and craft projects that fall within its rated capacity.
