Desk Lamps

What desk lamps do you use - pictures would be nice.

I'd like to get an LED based one, but the beam on them seems very narrow?

Odd post I know, but I'm intrigued.

Whats the scenario, beside a moniter, laptop, oak library desk?

 

I like the idea of EL wire providing unseen illumination but I have never got around to sorting it.

My scenario? Basic desk at work, but have fluorescent ceiling lighting which is just over-powering. I'd like to know what other folks use, and have found best suited.

I have an angle poise lamp that I have had for about 20 years with a R63 low energy refelctor bulb which really reduces the heat. The wide diffuser of the R63 lights the desk nicely and reduces shadows when working on a MB/soldering etc. I also have a draper magnifier lamp for really fine work (and because my eyes aren't what they used to be!)
