And what model of LUXO Task Lamp. They made a lot of models they
called a 'Task Lamp'.

There is a good chance that it has an electronic ballast.

Ok I opened up the light..... the bulb is a Syvania Dulux D 18w compact
flourecent 20677 835 avg life 10,000 hrs
But I can not log into www.sylvania.com which is on the box to check the
specs?????
The ballast is made by B and L Tech. http://bplusl.com/html/balnu6.htm
mine is an INstant Start class P Type 1 NU6-1128-NT-1
It has a slight brown spot on it and so does the bulb.
Interesting that the manufact. recommends buying bulbs with EOL protection
built in them (end of life) to protect the ballast.
Maybe this is why my balast died because of the bulb going bad?
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I can't find the model number on the light - all it has on it is LUXO on the
arm

Take a look at "LUXO Task Lamp" on Google 'Images' to see if you can
find yours.
