Love my Ott Light. I have several. For nighttime sewing I have a floor model that sits behind and to the right of my chair, right beside a table with a lamp. I really don't care what people think because I have this big, gray, ugly lamp in my living room. (Had a comment one time from a younger friend.) I would be lost without it. I also use it for reading. These old eyes need all the help they can get.
