I love the Ott lamps in my sewing room! I have a floor lamp between my sewing machine and serger that I can turn to shine on the machine I am using. I have another floor lamp behind my sewing chair, and a desk lamp that I move between my ironing board and cutting table. I once had a floor lamp there; but moved it to my den by the chair I sit in for hand sewing. I also have a folding Ott lamp that I take to classes, etc. I would have trouble sewing without my Ott lamps.
