Ceiling lights, LED bulbs or fixtures? (lemmy.ca)

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 put that fixture in my kitchen before I sold my old house. I really liked it. But if you want the best bang for your money, just go with light bulb replacement. LEDs won't last forever and in 10-15 years someone will have to replace that fixture unless they are willing to manually replace the LED strip inside it.
