Be patient and wait for either the 50% off sale or when they discontinue a model (best deals are usually on line.) I have two floor models and paid around $100 each for them. Also, check and see if there are any ott bulbs that fit regular sockets.
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Be patient and wait for either the 50% off sale or when they discontinue a model (best deals are usually on line.) I have two floor models and paid around $100 each for them. Also, check and see if there are any ott bulbs that fit regular sockets.
I found an Ott bulb at Lowes a couple years ago and put it into a lamp over my machine. It worked fine. Then recently I discovered LED lighting and changed to that. It is brighter, cooler, uses less electricity and the daylight (5000k) bulbs give you true colors. I found them at Wal-Mart for the best price (I am not affiliated with WM in any way). I have an inexpensive swivel lamp I've had for close to 15 years over my machine with the new 18w LED bulb (puts out 100w brightness) in it. Works like a champ!

If I had a dollar for every time I got distracted I wish I had some ice cream.
I Have an Ott floor lamp. The light would go off sometimes, so my husband finally found a lighting company that worked on them. After taking the lamp there, they said they couldn't get parts for the Ott lights anymore, he suggested replacing the 'guts' so we could use regular light bulbs. The Ott bulbs for that floor lamp cost $30 each, replacing the 'guts' only cost us about $50.
