I'm looking at floor lamps and would prefer to buy LED with changeable bulbs (but the dimmable ones only seem to have halogen lamps.

Don't forget, if they admit to 20,000, then they'll probably last even more. Unless you can find one with replaceable...

It says "only for halogens" I guess because of the dimmers used in it.
Some dimmers are not compatible with LEDs.
Definitely look for an LED version of the floor lamp.

Expensive. They do seem to offer replacement bulbs, and also a five year bulb guarantee. Also a free trial.
