We use a mains bulb holder with an energy efficient bulb (hardly gets warm, let alone hot) and take a UFO light as back-up just in case of power failure.

We always take a torch into the bedroom in case I have to pay a visit during the dark hours, and that does it for us.

I use an ordinary table or bedside lamp fitted with an energy saving bulb and stick it on the most convenient flat surface, quite often the top of the fridge which isn't used for anything else.

I find an ordinary table lamp with a plain shade gives a nice subdued lighting. Good enough to read by but not that bright that you are a permanent shadow puppet show for those on the outside.
