Renting a room in an old house. The landlady is one of the rare good ones and cooks for me somtimes so I’m trying to be handy where I can.

This light in my office died, and a few others in the house are in dire need of replacing. Rusted and covered in decades of caked on dust, probably hazardous.

I keep seeing units like this. https://a.co/d/iU3hAd3

But I’m wondering if I should get a few of those or get another bulb style ceiling lamps and just use LED bulbs?

    I had intended to change the switches to dimmers as well. Good to keep them low on migraine days.

      Make sure the new switches are rated for “led dimmers” too and you should be fine then.

      Don’t just buy the cheapest dimmers or you’ll be buying them and installing them a second time.

        That being said, I have had very good luck with the Feit electric dimmers from Costco.

        I have five or six of them installed in my house and I have no complaints about their functionality after over a year of continual use.
