I have about 6 different Ott lamps -- for reading, at my bedside, in the studio, and portables for workshops. I have seasonal affective disorder and have found these full spectrum lights to be very helpful in the winter.
They are great for working with colors in fabrics, as overhead fluorescent bulbs make everything yellowish and "off".

I have four--one floor lamp by my sewing machine and one by my chair in the family room where I do handwork and read. The two smaller ones can be placed wherever they are needed. I purchased them all at JAF using coupons and agree with everyone who said they couldn't do without them.

that I can bend to where I need the light. Expensive but well worth it. Even the bulbs are expensive but last a long time. I get them at our local Michael's craft store BUT only when they are 50% off !!

This is good to know....I have a goose neck lamp, probably with the natural light, but I find it doesn't give off very good light (even when I'm sitting right under it!), so I'll get an ott bulb and see if that helps.

I have four or five ott lights, but my preference is the LED daylight bulbs. I am in the process of removing the ott lights out of my sewing room as I have converted almost all of my lighting in there to LED daylight. Just my preference with my "needing more light" eyes.
