    If a new bulb doesn’t fix the problem then the switch on the lamp is bad and lamp needs to be replaced. It probably has a standard E26 socket which means house voltage at the socket and the electronics are inside the bulb. I’m not sure what the lamp standard is but sometimes there is a switching circuit which provides a lower voltage to the user knob/switch for safety and uses that to control the house voltage to the bulb socket so there could be circuit board and componants at the switch going bad. Installing a new bulb will tell you where the problem is.

      If it isnt dangerous id rather keep the lamp. I can handle a 1 second delay on switching off and the lamp has sentimental value

        If the bulb fix doesn’t work and you want to take it apart and show me a pic of the switch I can probably tell you if it can be repaired or replaced with a new switch. I get the sentimental value thing I got my mom’s tiffany pole lamp and if it went bad I would repair it.
