Anyone have suggestions to resolve this issue? The lights aren't a necessity but would be nice to have.

the 2 lamp wall sconce above the couch on my moho used a strange bayonet lamp that had 1 filament but 2 contacts.
one contact was a ground, the other positive 12v.
both lamps in this fixture were inop when i got my moho. i couldn't find a lamp like that.
i took the 2 sockets apart and bent the ground contact so that it went up beside the base and the other contact would hit the center contact on the base of a 1003 (12w), 1141 (18w) or 1156 (26w) lamp.
problem solved.
i use the 1141 lamps. the 1156 are very bright. i don't use this fixture a lot so it is not a high priority for me to upgrade to led's.
my 2 single lamp bedroom wall sconces use a different base lamp 912x. that lamp is widely available.
they don't get used a lot either.
i have upgraded 1 reading light and the fluorescent light over the kitchen sink to led's. they were pricey but are working well.
they operate about 20 hours a day.
