What is the best desk or floor lamp for sewing and quilting?

I have two Ott lights - a floor model and a folding desk model. The small folding light is used right on my sewing machine table.

I have a five light standing lamp and 4 light ceiling fan with the 60W LED bulbs. I have an Ott type light I use also. When I quilt on dinig table I have 3 100W bulbs to see by.

Have no room to right of table and anything on the left is in the way. Gave away the big clamp/base Ott, and put in LED track lighting. I kept the portable folding OTT and the flashlights. I also have a very old Halogen Tensor that I can use if needed. We use CFL in other rooms. The kitchen is also LED. I added the Ecolux LED lights to both the Pfaff 2170 and the Juki 2010. They work and are out of my way.

I have 2 floor Ott lamps. One over my quilt frame and the other next to my chair to do hand work.

I have 5 ott lights in my sewing room (its large) and love them. I bought a floor lamp to go by the couch where I sit in the evening and my husband made fun of it. Until he sat on the couch and used it. Then he wanted one for himself. lol. Ott lights rock

I have a goose neck Ott floor lamp I purchased at Joann's. The bulb just blew and I tried to replace. JA does not carry the bulbs anymore. I had to order them online. Any Ott light you buy make sure you can replace them without paying an arm and a leg.

I really love the LED lights that stick to the underside of the throat of the machine.
