I have a table top Ott-lite w/ the heavy base. I highly recommend it. It's hard to find a table top lamp that has as long a neck as this one has. This makes it very useful in many orientations. You can adjust the lamp head as well as the base of the neck. I've had mine for over 15 years and I'm still using the original bulb! This model can also be clamped to a table if you don't want to use the weighted base. Get one at JoAnn's and use a coupon.
