Cool base for the switch base! - I have a cast fitting like that one from a barn, in my brick wash house. It has a surface-mount small toggle light switch (round like turn switches with knob and tube wiring). I cut a hole in the ceiling and ran a 1/2 inch rigid conduit stub from it. Not like the standard surface-mounted options at all, but authentic for a pre-war installation

When we moved here, there was no switch in the wash house / summer kitchen but there was a fluorescent fixture with 2x 20 watt T12 lamps and a pull chain. They still blink blink on too!

I had to add that switch, you would always trip over something before you even got to the light if you had to go in there after dark, like the whole next season we get here.
