I'm building a detached garage and looking at light fixtures now.
It's a sad state: almost all the available (nice) light fixtures have integrated LEDs. I really don't want that: I feel comfortable replacing a bulb but not an hardwired fixture (thus I need to call a sparky to fix).
And when the LED (eventually) dies there is so much less waste with bulbs.
And, where I live, outdoor (LED included) electronics can be hit/miss in the very cold weather.
Am I a weirdo in this preference?
