I see a lot of workspaces with an anglepoise-type-lamp: what the benefit of that over turning the room light on? Less glare?
Adjustability.
I also have a 5000K bulb in mine which is good when I need to focus on some paper on my desk. Much easier to read with that than a warm (~3200K) bulb.
To be honest I never use the lamp. I think it's vestigial from my student days when I actually wrote stuff on pieces of paper.
But I do have a Gollum-like tendency to sit in the dark once the sun sets so it removes the barrier of having to walk over to a light switch
Good to get a bit of light on the desk behind the screen to ease the contrast between a light screen and a darker room
