A genuine Anglepoise lamp, a 'vintage electrical appliance',(as defined by the thread title) REQUIRES an incandescent filament bulb.
Installing an alternative MAY allow such a vintage device to remain in service until an enthusiast is able to restore it. This is the only benefit of 'upcycling' I have yet identified.
