Hi,

I am looking for a replacement for the current desk lamp that I have.

What do you guys use?

I posted a picture of my current one, it is really a bad picture but you can tell what kind it is.

What a ridiculous thread. Go out and browse the shops. Ikea is a good bet for a cheap one.

i'm not going to post a picture, but here's a link to what i have.

Ikea's FLYGEL desk lamp. both may parents have one on their desks, too. i've had it for about 3 years and the bulb hasn't burned out yet (daily use).

Here's mine. Works brilliantly in practice, despite throwing light out in all directions.

You literally touch any of the metal surface, and it goes to the next 'stage'. It has OFF, dim, medium and bright. Don't ask how much :D

Go out and browse the forums for the threads that you like, and leave the rest alone. But don't ridicule other people.
