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 would go with the bulbs

The fixtures are nice but they can have high failure rates and are more difficult to replace, as you have to replace the whole unit.

Bulbs on the other hand are easy to replace if they fail, they're standardized so anyone can walk to the store and pick up an A19 60W equivalent.
