i have shop light fluorescent lites in the basement and they are wonderful clear bright light. I do have a wanna be ott light i bought at odd lots for my quilt frame and it is nice. I'm glad i didn't spend the $200 for the ott lite though - $30 is better. I may go back and get a 2nd one.
On my sewing table i have a lamp w/ a GE Reveal bulb - my absolute favorite bulbs.
