Lamp
I bought a "generic" broad spectrum lite and it is wonderful; from this online store: http://www.firststreetonline.com/Hom...ions/Lighting/
The replacement bulbs are reasonable also.
If you have an overhead fluorescent fixture, you can put the daylight tubes in those and get excellelnt lighting which will give you true colors.

I have3 Ott lightes, one for each area I work in and don't know what I did before them. They make my work bright and so much easier to see. Except when I embroider with black, no matter what light I use it is still hard for me to see inorder to do neat stitching. Merry Christmas .

My hubby wants to buy me a light for my quilting room for Christmas - yay! I currently have a few lamps (all on at the same time) that do not light the space very well at night. The brightest one next to my machine is so hot, I feel like I am tanning while I quilt! What kind of light should I get? I've been looking at the Ott lights on sale at JoAnn's. Any feedback or suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks!
Thanks!

You can buy the small ott lites that attach to your sewing machine and they are so good you could turn your lights off if you wanted. It has a little neck on it so you can angle the light to where ever you want the light to shine, like when you have to rip some seams as us quilters have to do on occation. I wouldn't be without mine.

I have been looking at Ott lights for years and finally decided to bite the bullet with a JoAnn's coupon. I have the smaller one that folds. I love it. It's so easy to move around my sewing room. I use it by my computer too. I love it.
