   I Read the date on this (original post). It was reposted this week. Since lamps   
   and lighting, bulbs, and styles, and types of lighting change, I thought I   
   would   
   update everyone (especially since most consumers do not know those things).   
   The information is merely intended to be of use to anyone who can use it or   
   find it of value.   
      
   Thank you for pointing that out. Point well taken. That was "pre covid  - by   
   the    
   way.
