Hello, I have all kinds of lamps, accumulated over the years. Some extremely expensive. A few years ago I was persuaded to try out a desk lamp sold by Ikea and was amazed how much I liked it. It is now the only one I use. Absolutely no shadows on my work! And cost only $15. A heavy iron base into which is placed one of the spring-tensioned extension lamps with an ordinary incandescent bulb.
I admit I was very skeptical at first, but after trying it out I was sold. I like not having the lamp on my pillow, and it effective on any size pillow. So, I agree with Steph -- try out (if possible) and then buy -- what suits one person may not be the best solution for another.
