I am right handed, but tend to stand to one side of my easel. The light in my studio is okay in morning, but it is east facing. I do have a spotlight in corner shining on easel. The ceiling lights are incandescent spots, but I do not normally use them.
The easel, called a Herring Easel, is very portable and I do move it around. It is a very good British design, very light and very adjustable. It can be used at all angles from flat to upright, and with extension will take quite large canvases. It also collapses down so you can carry it or use it sitting down. Three members of my club have them as they are good for plein-air painting.
