I have 2 Ott lamps in my room. One is a floor lamp that swivels over my area and another is a clip on that is at the end of my table. My sewing table is a 6 foot banquet table that I just love because of all the room.
I do have an overhead light/ceiling fan, but that's just for extra lighting for ironing.
I do agree...those new fangled lightbulbs are a pain when trying to do any sort of work.
