I was at a friend's tonight and he had a porch wall light
that used LEDs, little flat ones, so from the outside of
the fixture it appears there is no light bulb inside.

From your own pov, would it bother you when you
look at it that there's no light bulb in your light fixture.

Nope and there isnt in half of mine.

Would you miss the appearance of a lightbulb, candle, wick, gas jet?

Nope, and I deliberately avoid the stupid copys
of candles, wicks, gas jets and filaments.

BTW, for my current fixture and the two that preceded it, I made sure to
get a lightbulb that is shaped like a flame. And it was easy to find
them in 40W. 60W was hard to find but I did.

The one the builder put on the house is still in the basement, plastic
but looks fine, nothing wrong with it, but I wanted motion-activated.
The first replacement lasted a long time, but the second replacement is
not very old and it's erratic now. Sometimes it goes on, often it
doesn't. It was made by one of two makers of Home Depot fixtures, but I
didn't keep track of which one. So I guess I will avoid HomeDepot
altogether in this case. Which leaves an enormous variety of designs
online.

Just emptiness, like our hollow lives?

The question mark was meant to make it a question. I don't think
anyone's life here is hollow.

Speak for yourself, nothing hollow about mine.

Other than that, it seemed very nice.
Uses very litle electricity.

Mine too and very easy to completely automate.
I don't use switches at all anymore.
