They are great! They make fabrics show up as if they are in the sunlight, of true color. My husband, an organist, uses one all the time; every note shows clearly. Watch Michael's for a sale. I got my last one for a fraction of the real price. Enjoy.

I really have grown to like mine! I have a clip-on one, it also came with a detachable magnifying glass. I have it set where it does not directly shine on me, but only on the project I am working on. I have Lupus, and have to be careful of certain types of lighting...I have to say that it does make a huge difference when I am doing close up work.

I have the floor model and a generic fold up table model that I love. HOWEVER, I bought the battery powered Ott light at Joann's and am very disappointed. It takes overnight to recharge it and then I'm lucky to get 2 hours of light before I have to recharge again. It can be used with electricity, but I wanted to use it when I was at my quilting group without running an electric cord to a wall socket.

I have a desk top/convertible to desk clamp on Ott-lite with a long neck. I have really enjoyed it for the past year and a half.
However about a month ago the transformer started overheating and the lamp would turn off itself off.
I'd have to wait for it to cool off before it would turn back on.
Fearing risk of fire/electrocution or other harm, I've discontinued using the lamp.
