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?

It seems like you're leaning toward getting standard light fixtures. Are you looking at the ones with naked bulbs, or those with the glass coverings over the bulbs?

If you're looking at naked bulbs, and if your landlady doesn't already have one, you might also consider getting her a lightbulb-changing kit so she can change any dead bulbs without climbing a ladder. Something like this with an appropriate-length pole.
