I have a Mighty Bright that I can position where I want, but my main help is a phalanx of OTT lights - desk and one floor lamp - some are harder to position than others. The "Tulip Lamp" by OTT is one I can NOT recommend for task lighting because the light glares right through the shade no matter what. That one I gave away. Yes, isn't it odd how those pesky light get dimmer with the age of the "machine."
