Absolutely. Only you need connect together two wires coming from each lamp holder (shunt).


How do you identify the NEUTRAL wire on a 2 wire very old electrical cord of a goose neck lamp?

The best way to find the neutral wire on any lamp is to ring the wire out. Before there were polarized plugs and receptacles a lamp could be plugged in either way. All new lamps have polarized plugs where the neutral is connected to the shell of the lamp holder and the "hot" wire is connected to the center pin deep in the lamp socket. Back to your goose neck lamp, you will need a meter that reads resistance and use it as a continuity meter. With the lamp unplugged and the lamp's switch in the off position connect one lead of the meter to the shell of the lamp holder. Take the other lead and touch it to one of the plug cap blades. If the meter gives a reading it is that blade that is the neutral wire. If there is no reading then that blade is considered the "hot" wire. If you are changing the plug (cap) out for a new one connect the newly established neutral wire to the silver coloured screw and the newly established "hot" wire to the gold coloured screw. Now when ever and where ever the lamp is plugged into a voltage source the polarity will be correct and the lamp will be much safer to use.


Does lubricating end of light bulb help?

If you are referring to the removal of lamps from the lamp-holder then yes a very light coating of a high temperature grease will help. This problem arose when the lamps came with aluminum screw bases and the lamp-holder manufactures decided to use aluminum on their screw shells instead of the old brass ones. Aluminium screwing into aluminum creates a condition called spalling and the two surfaces tend to weld together. By applying a very light coating of lithium grease to the lamp when installing the bulb will help when removing the bulb when its life is finished.

Why do you need to connect a jumper to the other terminal of a lamp holder?

Your question does not supply enough information. There would be no reason to have a 'jumper' on a lamp holder under normal conditions and I don't know what "the other terminal" of a lamp holder is.
