I have several Ott lites that I use. One behind my sewing machine, one behind my left shoulder so I can press seams, one on the small table to my right where I trim blocks, etc. and then another one in the room where my cutting table is. Got a great deal last month at Joanne's.Got a table model light and with that purchase, they threw in a floor model light. The older I get, the more important good lighting is for me. The one thing about the Ott lights, and other similar brands, is they don't put out as much heat as regular lights. If I get too hot, I get kind of cranky!!!!
