there are fluorescent lights scattered around
here and there.
in the event i don't get a round toit and
someone else agrees, i propose to move all
fluorescent lights to the "electrical/computer
room" along with one working fixture that we use
to test each light, and that we jerry-rig the
fixture so it works and that we test each light
and carefully discard the lights that don't light.
lights currently are in the rear stairs to the
second floor, next to the "electrical/computer
room", and perched on some pipes on the stairs
coming up from the street.
the fluorescent fixture and spare light on the
stairs coming up from the street likely belong to
the landlord, but they look scarey to me:
there'll be a lot of foot traffic up the stairs,
and if either the spare bulb or the fixture falls
and shatters while someone's nearby, the
consequences might be bad. better to remove the
existing fixture (and spare bulb) and replace it
with something safer, at least less flimsily
installed, and that presents an easier bulb
replacement problem (replacing four-foot bulbs
is more clumsy than replacing screw-in bulbs).
