Something like this:

Yes I have one of those permanently fixed to the wall by desk in my workshop. Very handy when soldering tiny stuff.
However beware - years back my son had one on a stand near a window, and sunlight burnt a patch on the wooden window cill - could have been a nasty fire if not found soon enough. Mine has a fold down flap to cover the lens so presumably he wasn't the only one to have had a problem !
