@MarfyMazie@yiff.life @Beckydog@hydaelyn.coerthansnowstorm.online For the light: 546 is old, but still valid - 1363 itself is over 80 now, being first introduced in the late 40s.
546 has multiple plug/socket types, the most common being 3 and 5 below the (massive!) 15A.
A modern light (led) isn't going to get anywhere near the capacity of a 3A, let alone a 5A 546 plug.
Using it: If you don't want to mod the lights, I'd get the right plug and a single socket extension and use it to make a (short) converter from 546 to 1363, and mark it very clearly for lights only.

@chloeraccoon@mastodonapp.uk @Beckydog@hydaelyn.coerthansnowstorm.online awesome, thank you so much! I know just enough about all this to /think/ and be fairly sure, but not /know for certain/ that if I can find the bits I could assemble an adapter and use my lamps with them. Having some confirm that they're actually still usable is good. Thank you. Now the hard part of finding bits ...
