I use one right in front of my sewing machine. I wouldn't be without it. I need the extra light and it doesn't get hot since it's florescent.

I bought one over a year ago to place on my sewing table...

I have a floor model and one that clamps onto my table. Have had them for about 3 years now, I think. Still same bulbs. Got them from Joanns when they were 1/2 off. I love them!

I love my Ott lights! After using my table fold down one for years before needing a new bulb, I got a floor one (at Joann Fabrics 50% off). Then the Christmas I bought my hubby a full keyboard piano, I told him to borrow my floor Ott until he found a cheaper floor lamp. Well, he ended up telling me to go get myself a new one for sewing because he loved this one and it looks so good with the piano too. So, I did. Then, when my dad was so ill, I was spending 3-7 days at a time with my folks, I splurged and got a whole sewing set for at their house; a new machine, scissors, rotary cutter, cutting board, and another table Ott. They emptied a small armoir to dedicate it for my equipment. I sewed many things for my dad that year and for my mom ever since. So far, the only bulb I have had to replace in all my 8ish years of quilting is on that first table lamp, a year and half ago. I highly recommend the Ott light. Oh wait... I forgot one.. when my mom needed a floor lamp for her new keyboard (helps her through grief), we found a non-Ott brand lamp with the same like sun qualtiy. That was at Home Depot, on sale, then she got $25 off by signing up for a Home Depot card, so she ended up paying only $30. She loves it.

Love the Ott light. I have a fold up so I can take it with me to retreats. I am going to buy a floor model. My husband has the clip on for his computer. They all have their purpose.

I have the floor . Had it for five years now and have not had to change the bulb yet. Yets hope I did not jinks myself.

I have both a table and floor model. Love them both. Have had them now for several years -- have yet to replace a bulb (knock on wood). However, I figure it might be time for me to buy some just to have on hand....

I don't know how I ever sewed without them...

Hi

I use the verilux true spectrum light bulb in in a flexible goose neck floor lamp from IKEA. This is a very inexpensive solution, waaay cheaper than the Ott light, and works beautifully. The bulb has been in the lamp for more than a year and it was about $10. i think. Go to the verilux website and check them out. They even had FREE SHIPPING on my order to Canada.

Cheers

I LOVE MINE!!!

I lucked out and got two for free!!! I order a sewing cabinet last year, spendy!! Two times they sent it to me with damage to the wood. I am not a complainer but if I am gonna spend that kind of money then I think there shouldn't be scratches, gouges, etc in the cabinet. Anyhow, because of my trouble the company I bought it from sent me a free table top ott light. I was thrilled because I wanted one and was going to ask for one for christmas. Then.....a week later, I got another one...for free!! This one was sent to me by manufacturer of the cabinet (where the store I got mine from purchased it).

My grandma is a sewer and had been complaining about not being able to see as well, and wanted better lighting. She has one of those bendy clip on desk lamps but it got SUPER hot. So I gave her my second one for her birthday last year. SHE LOVES IT TOO!!!

The bulbs in both of ours are still running strong! If I remember correctly the bulbs last several years, depending on how much you use the lamp. And the replacement bulbs for how long they last are cheap in my opinion!!

I would get one if I were you!! They don't get hot, and the light is better, and they swivel and move around great so you can see what you need to see!!
