WAY before LEDs were used to make light bulbs for the general home market.

A "blast" from the past?

Probably not.

You've neglected the whole "how do you know it needed to be replaced"
issue, the discussion of diagnostic procedures for socket, wiring,
switch, and breaker, the flame war about whether fuses are better than
breakers, all the cautions about messing with wiring, and I'm sure I've
neglected something as well.
