You might want to either use an existing outlet or put an outlet where the
old lamps get their juice and replace the incandescent stuff with LED or
fluorescent "fixtures."


You can get very efficient and very bright "hockey puck" type LED fixtures
or compact fluorescent fixtures from your "big box" hardware store and even
Wal-Mart.

they be done by somebody who can replace electrical outlets and
switches?

is what they look like:
