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?

The next tenant after you might not be so handy. It would be easier for the average person just to change a bulb if they needed to. I'd go with the fixture that uses replaceable LED bulbs.

Good point I assumed these lasted forever, but I guess that'd be wishful thinking.
