I actually bought the Ott lamp that sits on the floor a couple of years ago - it also has a magnifying glass.. It is the High Def Easy View Craft Lamp that JoAnns sells. I love it and use it for lots of stuff but it was much cheaper back then. Also the bulbs were not available as they are now.
I would be tempted to get the The OttLiteŽ High Definition Natural Lighting screw in bulb from a place like JoAnns and put it into another fixture as Blahel suggested!! There are also other manufacturers that now produce them. Google "full spectrum bulbs" and you will be amazed what you can find.
