I haven't had this new lamp for that long but I like it.
I am a retiree with an art school background. I had a lamp very similar to this Luxo for many years.  It is my hope this Luxo combo lamp will last the remainder of my life because I do like it.  However, I wanted to change the CFL bulb which came with the lamp with a 75 watt replacement (also 14 watts actual usage), LED bulb.  I put in a General Electric Reveal LED HD+ bulb.  I used to love the GE Reveal incandescent bulbs when they were still available. The GE fit into the lamp socket and worked, but it weighed twice as much as the CFL bulb, in addition to being much longer, so it stuck out past the rim of the shade.  I worried about possibly putting a strain on the lamp because of the weight of this larger LED bulb, so decided against using it.  I was able to find at a local store a general purpose GE Soft White LED bulb of the same size as the CFL (the same A19 size with 800 lumens brightness and 2700K warm light appearance; which is also a 60 watt replacement bulb, but this LED uses 10 watts of power instead of the 14 watts used by the CFL).  My eyes sometimes get irritated by fluorescent lights, which is why I was hoping to find a replacement.  The circular (22 watt circline) bulb which also came with this combo lamp is fluorescent, as it should be. It doesn't seem to bother me when I have it turned on at the same time as the new LED bulb.  With both bulbs turned on, I have a balanced light, which is how this lamp was designed.
