Dave, I support buying a cheap lamp for those who don't want to lay out a lot of money for a good one, or can't afford to. One problem I've noticed, though, is that the ones that are adjustable can tip, since there is often not enough weight in the base. Staples used to sell them, and maybe they still do, for under $20.
