Comment on Ceiling lights, LED bulbs or fixtures?

If it’s an old house going to led fixtures can have issues.
Back in the day it was fine to let a little juice trickle past a closed switch (light switch off)
Because what little went thru, wasn’t enough to turn on an incandescent bulb.
But it’s enough to turn on a led dimmly.
So there’s a decent chance if you install a light like in your link, it will always produce light. Then you have to change out the switches and all types of other stuff.
Especially in a rental, you don’t want to open that can of worms. Just use a conventional fixture.

I had intended to change the switches to dimmers as well. Good to keep them low on migraine days.

Make sure the new switches are rated for “led dimmers” too and you should be fine then.
Don’t just buy the cheapest dimmers or you’ll be buying them and installing them a second time.
