In the evening, while wTching tv I sit in my wingback chair, feet on footstool, with floor lamp over my right shoulder, and work on EPP hexies....thought lighting was "good enough"' but was thinking of investing in another ott floor lamp for up here...have two in sewing cave downstairs...anyway, went to my fav store..goodwill... And found a floor model ott lite....not white,but black based and kind of tortoise shell colored hood for $5.... No bulb, but bought it anyway...on way home stopped at a big box hardware store with number of bulb needed..they had it for $6.... Went home, put in bulb, plugged it in,flipped switch and it worked! Moved it to my sewing chair and that evening sat down to sew,got all my stuff out and ready to go...flipped on that switch..it has high/low and viola! The light was absolutely wonderful and no shadow....never think you have enough light......I now know I didn't!
