Minor update to my listening / reading nook ... The over the shoulder clipped on USB light wasn’t the solution I wanted. Finding the inline switch module on the cable was a PITA, it never was quite aimed right, etc. I’d had my eye on this floor standing light for a minute, but something in me just doesn’t want to spend $80 on a disposable piece like that; the LEDs are integrated into the light itself, and cannot be (easily, if at all) replaced when they eventually die. That idea leaves a bad taste in my mouth. So instead I got this more traditional O'Bright Nova - Adjustable Floor Lamp ($50). No dimming, no color changing, no remote control (though the switch is a rotating stalk conveniently on the top of the lamp), just on/off with a standard A19 socket that can accept any ol' bulb. I went with the Feit Electric ST19 Vintage Edison LED Light Bulb, 60W Equivalent, Dimmable, 2700K Soft White, 800 Lumens, E26 Base, Retro Filament Light Bulbs, 15,000-Hour Lifetime, ST1960/CL/927CA/2, 2 Pack. I wanted warm light and a decent amount of it; these deliver, with a color temperature of 2700K (2200-2500K would have been even better, but this is fine), at 8.8 watts (60W equivalent), 800 lumen. So far, loving it.
