Depends what kind of lamp you are looking for. Prisma has quite good amount of options. IKEA has a lot of options. Prices starting from 10€

Sometimes you have to buy the plug separately, to join it with the lamp base you need “sokeripala”, a connector. All can be bought from a market, prisma or Citymarket.
Just be careful that what ever you are putting up there you have to work with what you have at the base. Use the hook and plug, sometimes I’ve removed the plastic cover to access the wires but the hook is part of the base at the roof, not the plastic. Don’t screw anything there or the roof, that type of roof crumbles if you even press down on it too hard.
Ikea is the place to go. You can buy a cheap lamp and they also sell plugs called Koppla (You need that to plug your lamp)
Ask at the store whether the lamp includes the plug and show this picture to them. In my experience Ikea lamps sometimes have it and sometimes they don’t
You can go to K-Rauta and show this photo to a staff member as well. They can help you.
I’m new to Finland but my girlfriend found a secondhand one that was very nice, glass, and only €5.
If you search in facebook ur local group like “roskalava” or something. You could get those lamps for free. I used to give many those type lamsp when not need anymore.
Kiitos everyone! You all were truly helpful! As per your suggestion I went to IKEA this evening, bought a lamp and wire plug, and here’s the result –
You can basically go to any bigger supermarket with lamp section and just ask for help. You can get a lamp (nothing fancy) for like a little over 3€
Not to say that second-hand shopping could be your friend!
You can also buy these plugs almost anywhere.
I modified some vintage lamps like this and added smart bulbs!
I can take pics later if wanted (just moved myself, so apartment is WIP)

This one is cheap, if not anything else:
