Several observations:
1. Check on the cost of replacement bulbs.
2. You can often find these lamps at consignment/thrift
shops for $5. - $10.
3. See if you can find a newer model that uses bright
white LED's. They run cool, are much smaller and lighter
weight (lessening the load on the adjustment arm), and
the LED's last "forever". (Oh, and please share what
you discover. I am thinking of upgrading mine as well,
something happened to my near vision after age 50.)
