Got a 3-way incandescent floor lamp from the Home Depot after the previous Halogen floor lamp retired. Fitted out with 34W 3-Way compact fluorescent bulb, which is equivalent of a 150W incandescent bulb. Fluorescent bulb is about 60% more expensive than the lamp. Give about 4 years of service at triple the recommended usage rate (3hrs per day). There's a noticeable reduction in luminosity near the last 10% of the bulb's life cycle. But you do save on electricity, that's 34W fluorescent bulb compare to 300W halogen bulb.
Should cost you about $40 for the lamp & fluorescent bulb at Home Depot. Think thats where the Philips 34W 3-way compact fluorescent bulb is available for sure.
