I'm looking at these Lumitronics brand for both double and single light fixture replacements. Color temp is listed as 2833K, which is good. Lumen output is listed as 455, which is less than a 60 W incandescent, but as many fixtures as I have, that should be enough. I like that the cover is overall diffused so there is not a blinding bright spot in the center.
Just change to LED blubs. Don't use the 6000K bright white. awefull. I changed them to 35005 Warm white. Love it.
In spite of having a lot of ceiling lights, there is not a switch by the door for any light. Also some black holes in basement storage and a couple of cabinets. I'm thinking about getting a few of these battery powered lights to stick around in such locations. They have good reviews on Amazon and on Harbor Freight. (cheaper on Amazon.)
Just wondering if anyone has used these specific fixtures???? or have something possibly better to suggest?
