We had some electricians out to fix some stuff in the house. They didn't fix my bedside table lamp, but they did fix the track lighting on my ceiling-- I assumed it wasn't fixable as it is older than I am, but they got it going.

They also solved a mystery that had surrounded our family for 15+ years: We own a tall floor lamp that belong to my grandmother and that dates back to the 1940s at the very least, and probably the 1930s. This lamp is older than my dad. It takes some ridiculously huge kind of bulb that is extremely hard to find (I think they are actually now illegal/restricted to sell in CA). Because it is such an energy hog/heat issue, we basically on turn the lamp on when we have company. One of the nice electrician dudes took a look at it and did a little research and thinks he has identified the exact size base the lamp uses and recommended a converter ($9 on amazon) that should allow it to take energy-efficient bulbs. Hell, any modern bulb will be better than the ostrich eggs this thing uses.
