Lighting

I've even gone so far as to take a bolt of fabric outside to match it to a paint chip. It was a green that just wouldn't behave in the store. So the staff allowed me to take it outside! They got the sale - enough fabric for curtains.
I don't have an OTT light, but in my sewing studio, I have natural flourescent lights and love them. My new machine also has 5 lights built in and it's great.

I have three Ott's. One floor model from eons ago. At least twenty years old. I just replaced the bulb in it last year. I have the desk top one that when you fold up the light it turns on. Had that one about 15 years and never replaced the bulb. I now use it to do schoolwork. It also has a swivel base. Thr third is the same one only has a magnifier. DD uses it to do her crafts. It is about 10 years old and have never replaced the bulb.
My DS had the Daylight one and hated it.
I use Reveal bulbs throughout the house and they help with my glare problem.

I bought my ottlite task lamp(folding type) 15 yrs ago and
I've not changed the bulb yet.
I have 2 of the task lamps that I use daily either behind my treadle machine or my electric machine.
Also have 2 ottlite floor lamps and they are still on the original bulbs too. I know they are at least 10 yrs old.
I have never tried the other lamp that you mentioned, so I don't know.

I have three floor model Ott lights and one clip on. Some I have had for at least twenty years and have only had to replace one bulb. I also have a floor natural light with large round magnifying section with light all around that I bought at a stitchery shop twenty years ago. It is fine for stitchery but no good for quilting.
