Thanks for the info John, guess it's time to rip down the three recessed lights (which I found out are nothing more than aluminum dunce caps with a light socket.)
I guess the standards changed by the early 1950s, since these Levittown houses have at least two + one switched receptacles in each room, makes for a little less power strips and extension cords.
One run (+/- 60 houses) of Fairless Hills houses are worse, one receptacle in each room. And if there wasn't a light on the ceiling, half of that was switched. Gotta love pre-fabs though, with their 24" on center 2X3 walls. I still wonder how the TWP lets people put second stories on them.
