Thought I'd hijack this thread instead of starting a new one.
I'm also after a desklamp for around £50 or less.
I have a 3 level touch desklamp with a halogen G9 bulb which has been perfect up to now. However I do close work these days and the lamp sort of burns my head.
I've tried fluorescent tube lights but they all flicker so I'm after an LED desk lamp that can output the same as a G9 light bulb, about 490 lumens. I'm fine with white light btw, I actually prefer it to the yellow glow of the halogen bulbs.
