A guy at the office said a lamp is basically the same as a window, and I can't decide if he's right
I was in the break room on Tuesday and this guy I barely know said he doesn't get why people fuss over desk lamps when a $12 clip light does the same thing. He claims light is light and warm vs cool is a scam, but my sister swears her $40 warm bulb in a north facing room in Seattle keeps her from feeling like she works in a cave. I get his point about not overpaying, but I also think a room with one harsh overhead light feels like a waiting room no matter how clean the desk is. So which is it, does the kind of light actually change how cozy a space feels, or are we all just buying lamps to feel like we did something? Curious what people here would pick if they only had one light source for their nook.

Does a $12 clip light ever make a room feel soft though? Sure it puts out light, but every cheap one I have used throws a harsh white beam that makes the whole corner look like a garage at midnight. So the guy is wrong, you are not just buying a lamp to feel useful, you are buying the quality of the glow itself.
