I too, have an OTT light=bought a few years ago at Joann's with a 50% coupon on one of my trips to the States. I used it with a transformer overseas to convert it to 220. I am now back, and still using it. I bought a few extra bulbs since I knew I couln't get them overseas, and only had to replace it a few months ago!!! And I use that lamp at least 30-40 hours a week! I found one that has a detachable heavy base to use on a table/desk. It also has a mounting clamp that clamps to a table/tesk, which I kept attached to my sewing table and just move the lamp where I need it in the living room where I prop comfortable in my easy chair to quilt, applique, or just read. I couldn't be without it. Well worth the investment!! They were just 50% off at Joann's this past week - don't know if they still are, but you can find coupons (several) in their current flyer good till the EOM I think.
