Reading Light Recommendations?

What would you look out for when you're shopping for a reading lamp?

I am presently using an Ikea desk lamp with its 40watt bulb. It gives off a soft yellowish light. Reading under its light gets my eyes tired after a while, everytime.

Any information would be most appreciated!

If I may, what do you guys make of LeeKY's accent? Born in Singapore (to immigrant Chinese parents, according to wikipedia), given the 'English education' in Singapore and attended universities in Britain. Is his accent supposed to be what the Singaporean accent should sound like? I find his ministe...

The guys in my neighborhood didn't want to take CRT monitors, nor did they want a desktop with a shot disk. Getting a bit picky. Tell me about it. One of the many who come by my neighborhood only accepts used appliances, no newspapers no cardboard, thank you very much. I made a trip down to the rec...

Did I just give you an ego trip? At least you admit it's noise and I'm glad I'm not alone.

And I guess I remembered the tune wrong.

I appreciate the recycling work that they do, I just do not appreciate their unrestrained use of the horn. SMS you may have lived in my country much longer than I have been alive, but I really do remember them using their voices and bells when I was younger, which are much less intrusive in my opini...

The Rag-&-bone / 'Karung-guni' Men Menace

I wonder if anybody else is, like me extremely bothered by these rag-collectors who come with their loud piercing horn everyday? Have you done anything to keep them quiet that works?

Isn't it because chopstick usually come in single-use packages, whereas the fork&spoon set is probably, as previously described by someone else, only dip in cold water and stored? Hygienis conditions, you must admit, in hawker centers and workers' canteens, are not exactly at their best... Single-u...
