Some people are soooo silly! I have been struggling with sewing at night...dragging the pole lamp out and back, tilting the table lamp shade to direct light, just avoiding sewing at night! Until this post...I forgot that I had bought an Ott-Lite. I had packed the unopened box neatly away in the garage but I knew exactly where it was. Ladies and gents, the unopened box was post marked 02-09-2008. Yes, bought for half price when Joann's had a sale and never opened! Oh the shame of it. The light is now assembled, on and I can direct the light where I need it! THANK YOU for posting the topic and helping silly people like me. :)
