I have never seen a Naturalight so can't comment on that. I have an Ottlight and I really like it and the way it shows true colors.

I believe it is an overwhelming majority that all love their ott light.

I have an Ottlight which was a gift. I love the soft light it puts out.

I have the tall stand up Ott with the magnifier and really like it - use it all the time but the only problem that I have with it is that it will tip over fairly easily. I have to be very careful when I move it and on how I position it so that it doesn't topple over.

I have an ott light which I love, but just got a verilux optix at Tuesday Morning and it is much much better. Has 3 settings too!!! Brighter for these old eyes.
My sewing room was in a dark attic bedroom eave with little light from the dormer, my dh had a solatube put in last week, and now I need sunglasses (ha ha) when I sew. what a difference.

I have two Ott lights but I also put natural light bulbs in my ceiling lights and lamps. The natural light is good for you anyway in the winter when you don't get out a lot. I also have a nice bright light on my featherweight which is extremely helpful when I am working on the machine.

When we were travelling this summer I stopped in a Lowe's store looking for an Ott-Lite Floor Lamp. I met a very helpful gentleman there who suggested to me that I didn't need to buy a lamp all I needed was to the the Ott-lite "bulbs".....they now make bulbs that look like regular light bulbs (they have the regular screw in base) but provide full spectrum lighting. I bought a half dozen of these bulbs...I think they were about $5.00 each and I put them in my regular lamps!! They are wonderful!! So I took the couple of hundred $$ I saved and bought some more fabric!! LOL

Please note, for a while there were Ott lights with full spectrum and those (cheaper) without on the market. Take 2 swatches of the same fabric to the store to compare under different lighting systems to be sure you're getting what you think you are.

Been there, done that.

I have the OTT light, suppose to be the best for quilters (crafts)
Last week they had them on sale 50% off, hope they still are.
