I love my Ott lights! Yes, lights. At last count we have 5 in our house. Years ago I bought my first one to use in the den at night for hand sewing and my husband made fun of it. After he sat in my spot one evening and read, he wanted one of his own! I bought one a few years ago that has a magnifier that I find helpful if I'm sewing on black or if my eyes are tired and I need a bit of extra help.
