Just finished my insulation. I ended up taking down the drywall in the
corner too, rather than leaving myself 2 butt-joints to make there. I
would have saved some time if I had decided that a month or two ago
rather than tip-toeing around it. While I was trimming things up a
question occurred to me--What sort of Lighting am I going to want while
doing the setting compound/sanding/finishing compound joint work?

There are presently 2 fluorescent lights, in the middle of the 20'x24'
area--but I'll need a more careful view while sanding right? I assume
I'll need direct lighting to do a good job. My first inclination is to
put my shop light (std. hand held/corded) on a movable stand of some
sort? Can you point me to something like that? I also have an extra
"living room lamp" at my disposal which I could move around as a fire
hazard. ; ) BTDT?

I find that running my hand over the seams and joints often does a
better job of finding flaws than that of sight. Expect to do some
touch-ups after the primer goes on.
