RE the ikea lamps. I use the same one as the first post for my TT. It work really well when you angle it to be perpendicular with the surface of the record. You see all the dirt and any defects. The down side is that the power supply is noisy, so it is only on when setting up a record. When music is playing the light is off. I have the version with a heavy base. The base sits behind and kind of underneath the TT.
As for the Tived model, I have a floor standing version which I use as a reading light. However, the power supply is really a piece of junk, the light flickers all the time. Is great if I am listening to dance music! Not so much for reading. One of these days I will replace the PS.
