   The spare bath in my house was added in the '60s. There is a fixture   
   over the sink with a double light socket, one faces left and one faces   
   right,it's one piece. Common at one time.   
      
   So today I wanted to put a fan in this otherwise unused bathroom. I got   
   an edison base adapter and screwed it in one of the sockets. Plugged in   
   the fan and nothing. Didn't matter how it was switched. So I went off to   
   get a bulb to test the other socket. When I screw in the bulb, it does   
   not light but the fan goes on. The fan seems to be fine and the bulb is   
   completely dark. Unscrew the bulb and the fan turns off.   
      
   WTF!   
      
   Who cares to gamble a wild ass guess?   
      
   Obviously the fixture has to go! But very strange.
