It seems everytime I bring up the idea of LED optimized floor lamps I get drowned out by home owners with recessed can lights and looking for a way to fill their holes in the ceiling. Sorry, can't help.
I have several designs for great looking lamps that will only work with the unique point brightness of LEDs. Take several panes of textured, clear glass
like this, build a tall narrow box out of it, and mount LEDs in the corners facing inwards. I don't have to pull my ray-tracing software out to conclude the results will be unlike anything you can do with CFL and quite spectacular.
Or, a wide, metal cylinder where LEDs are mounted on the inside with optics that project on to the opposite side. The inside of the cylinder is painted bright white so it projects a wide glow of light above and below without the LEDs being directly visible.
Drop pendants that use frosted glass or alabaster would be ideal to be coupled with +400 lumen LEDs, but I'm shocked no lighting designer has figured this out yet. CFLs tend to be fugly when used in pendants.
Otherwise, I'm waiting for the XP-G to hit the streets because the initial specs would indicate it distances the best CFLs in terms of efficiency.
If you really want an LED retrofit bulb concensus here is that the Evolux might be your best option.
