Some lovely set-up's in this thread, I hope to share mine properly, rather than use my mobile camera as the pictures come out rubbish.
Anyway, I popped into my local Homebase earlier today. If you are after a cheap and cheerful desk lamp, Homebase are offering a chrome touch light for £1.00! Only available in store though - A picture is displayed on their site

The bulb cost more than the lamp. Bargain!
Small footprint with two brightness settings (I bought LED bulbs in error which means the dim effect does not work very well - dims ever so slightly).
