[Elecraft] Dimmable LED desk lamp for operating position recommendation needed

Everyone is quite right about the adjustable power supply suggestion. I was
fixated on the power supply issue without considering the nature of the
load. 

I like Walt's suggestion of simply switching in more LEDs as needed. A
rotary switch adding more LEDs with each position would make adjusting the
light level easy with a simple turn of the knob. 

It may be "brute force" as Walt says, but sometimes the simplest is also the
most elegant and efficient solution.

A brute force solution would be to get four LED lighting strips that run off
12V and use four switches. Turn on as much light as you want.
