The lamp in my room runs three 60w equivalent daylight CFLs (whatever rando brand they carry at the grocery store), and my painting lamp is one of these.

I do like mine, I easily get a day of tuning and tweaking out of a full battery. The screen isn’t bright enough to compete against direct sunlight (nothing much really is though) but it is brighter than I expected for the price.
If you are like me, blindish, you may want to consider a lighted magnifying glass too. Something like this. I found mine at a thrift shop a while ago for like $5 though I did eventually replace the old cfl ring light with a custom LED setup. It is really nice for the little transistors and such that have more than just 2 pins.

This guy is pretty good for modeling work. it’s also my main painting light. The magnifier isn’t great for painting though. You’ll probably be better off picking up a headset or reading glasses.

This guy is pretty good. You have the option of using the foot or the desk clamp and the circular daylight bulb through the plastic diffuser puts out a nice even light.

What are you currently using? I light the room with three ~45w equivalent daylight CFLs, and I have one of these guys on my desk for additional painting light. The magnifier is pretty useless for painting though.

I have this guy as my painting lamp. I rarely use the magnifier for painting but I’d be dead in the water without it for trimming and cleaning.
