Pro tip: tried a $7 clamp lamp instead of the $60 reading light, and my nook felt wrong for a month
I figured cheaper light would be fine... nope, the harsh beam killed the cozy vibe, so now I'm stuck torn between saving cash and that soft warm glow. Do you go cheap on lamps or is lighting the one thing worth splurging on?

Ever try a dimmer switch on that cheap lamp? That saved me when I went the budget route. I grabbed a $9 clamp light plus a $6 dimmer plug, then swapped the bulb for a warm white one around 2700K. Total was still under 20 bucks and the glow got close to the fancy stuff. The trick is the bulb and the dimmer, not the lamp itself. Spend the extra cash on warm bulbs and you keep your cozy vibe without the $60 hit.

Wouldn't a $9 clamp light still look cheap even with a warm bulb in it?
