My question is- Sometimes work kicks my ass and I'm exhausted but I still drag myself to the gym. Sometimes just to do a full workout I go light on the weights.
Tonight I did: Shoulder Press 3x10 with 20 pound dumbells, Chest Fly 4x10 150, Lat pulldowns 3x10 180 pounds, Chest press 3x8 150 pounds, Later shoulder raises 3x10 25 pounds.
Am I wasting my time here with workouts that light? I figure something is better than nothing? I do upper/lower workouts 2X a piece a week on weekends I lift heavier as I'm obviously more energized

Generally going and dicking around doing nothing is better than not going, because it helps sustain the gym habit. The battle is normally getting yourself there to workout
What are your goals? If its to build muscle/change your appearance and those weights you list are not challenging for you, it's not going to be building muscle.
If the goal is purely to look good, on those tired days you could always do the less taxing muscle groups, e.g. biceps/triceps/side delts/abs?
