Afternoon evening everyone.

When we moved over to our current house in 1986, along with everything else we brought three of these. We put one in the overhead fixture in the garage, and two were in our bedside lamps. The one in the garage died about 10 years ago. Last night, the one on my wife’s side finally gave up, leaving only the one on my side. I can’t remember how long they were in use in the old house.

Is that a fluorescent ring lamp?

If so, there may be a ballast at the base. If so, it might/could be replaced and that will give you another 38 years of cheap-ass light.
