Exposed lightbulb, base thread prep?

[Hall]

I've started putting a tiny dab of Sil-Glyde on the bulb bases. Definitely helps stopping them from getting "stuck" in the bulb socket.

My first suggestion was going to be to install a wall pack style light, but since you like the old fashion look, (can’t say I blame you) I second the gooseneck barn style light.

The former will put out much more light though.

I’m going to put one of these on my parent’s garage addition. 12’ or so up.
