Brian,
I use this one. Medium price range but great illumination and magnification. I couldn't do the tiny drilling and detailing without it ( not to mention 1/35 and 1/72 kits anymore )

Re: Modelling desk light...
Brian,
LED is certainly cheaper to use and unless a colored LED is specified, will provide a clear, bright, bluish white light. Multiple LED lamps may be a bit much for older eyes and prolonged exposure but per individual, your mileage may vary. ;o) My lamp is older and uses a fluorescent which simulates natural daylight. Time and testing different types have proven _for me_ that this is easiest on my eyes for long usage and items painted under it generally look the same when on display. The Pluses are many for either type.
