I have FOUR Ott lamps and besides having to replace a bulb ever decade, I am NOT complaining. I bought the basic flip light from Quilt Market in the early 90s, then I bought the stand light with the base. Then I bought the screw on lamp for the table where my sewing machine sits and last I bought a desk lamp when one of those design places that was having a going out of business sale. Except for the last lamp, I got them all at JAF with a 50% off coupon. I haven't seen them for less than that. Have fun at the sale!!! That is the BEST SALE !!!
