In the last post (see Light Housekeeping) I said a pair of burned out bulbs motivated me to get our cabin lighting under control.
After years of washing dishes lit by the single light in the kitchen, I installed a “thin lite” fixture directly above the sink. I’d found it in the shed (see In Praise of Packrats) cleaned it up, added a fuse for safety, and tied it into the DC line. This greatly improved visibility in the sink area, until the day it burned out.
Right around then, I had to replace the living room’s Edison base fluorescent bulb. When I did that, I decided to install globes over that light, and the Edison socket in the kitchen area.
