I LOVE my Ott light. I had a tabletop model for years. I broke the bulb last week and used another bright lamp for 2 weeks. It was a lamp we had here. It just wasn't the same. I went out and bought the Ott light I had been wanting. I used the sale price and my teacher discount. I got the one that stands on the floor with the magnifying glass attached. It is on an arm. I love love it. I just saw here on the board the other day to watch out where you have the magnifying glass focused when you quit sewing. SHe said the sun was coming in the window thru her magnifying glass and almost caught her chair on fire.
