I just got one. It's strange, kind of like working by the light of an arc welder. But as a reading lamp, I actually kind of like it. Wal-Mart now has a large selection of screw-in LED replacement bulbs. My wife hated them, they were sent to the basement as task lighting, except for one, which my son took for his room because it looks like a space-alien lightbulb.

LED's are definitely not for room lighting, but as an accent light or utility light, they make the grade.
