I have so many Yes they are great . I have new ones still in the box when the old ones go bad. The newest is the small clip that opens like a cell phone. They have them at JoAnns. I did not like the long one that was battery powered as it was top heavy and tipped over easily. But I carry the small clip one on my bus it is great. I have 3 floor models that are around the house in different locations. I carry the clam shell one in my sewing tote bag with the standard quilting supplies. It goes with me every class or retreat. I will continue to buy them as they improve. My husband loved my cell phone type I had to buy him one.

For me, it is totally worth it. Particularly now that the fall equinox has gone and there is more dark than light in the day.

Ott lights are great! But check around for sales. I got one floor lamp style from Joann's through their Black Friday online sales. It was dirt cheap. My husband just picked up another floor lamp ott on clearance at Lowe's. Michael's was my table lamp style with a 40% off coupon.

There may be other choices out there, but I won't trade my table Ottlite for anything. I take it with me to quilt club when we have sewing nite and use it for paperwork. My eyes never hurt or burn after many hours like most other lites do. My husband actually gave it to me for Christmas about eight years ago and never have had to change the bulb yet.
