I have an Ott desk lamp and I love it for sewing. I bought the Ott bulbs and put them in my floor lamp I already had. I found a battery LED desk lamp at Walmart for $10. It's great to take to classes and workshops, no electrical cord needed. The LED light last 100,000 hours. It uses 3 AAA batteries. It's a seasonal item, for dorm rooms so go get one now! Oh, it's not the desk lamps that have a cord, it's a whole different one. Pretty colors too.
