If your lamp is for a home office, you should look for a design that lets you adjust it for task lighting.

There are two standard designs that offer this, one lets you swivel the head of the lamp, and one lets you angle and bend the stem of the lamp (or you might find a model that does a bit of both). For straight-forward paperwork, a moveable head is fine, but if you will be using it for close work, the more flexible it is, the better.
