I have a floor model that I use to read by in my favorite chair
and my sister gave me a table top that I use with my sewing machines & serger. I like them because it provides bright light that doesn't blind you in you look directly into it. They are very expensive but I got mine 60% off and my sister got the desk model 50% off...still pricey. |

I bought OTT lighbulbs at Lowe's and just put the bulb in an old floor lamp I had. Works fine. Less than $10

OTT lite is in the process of changing their light fixtures and bulbs...if you have an older model, you might want to stock up soon...
also you can find "daylight/full spectrum" bulbs in office stores as well.. |
Love mine so far. I bought it from Joann's a few months ago.
Since I've been unable to sew due to two knee replacements in the last year and a half with complications. So I've been using it as a reading light. Might have to get another one when I get back to sewing which will be real soon hopefully. Hugs, Sharon |
My children bought me the floor Ott light as a birthday present and I use it constantly when sewing. Love it!!!!

I have two, One I love the other I don't care for. I got it at Joann's, the first I got in Canada. The problem with the one from Joann's: it is topheavy and the base is not heavy, or large enough to keep it upright when sitting in my easy chair, which is where I like to do my hand sewing. I have to keep a magazine basket on it to help keep its head up. It does have the advantage of clamping onto a table tho. These are both floor models.

I have 4 ott lights. Two downstairs for hand-sewing reading,etc. and two upstairs in my quilting room. These eyes couldn't survive without them!

I am told that the ones from quilt stores are brighter but I don't see much difference between my two lights. Yes, they are worth the money, but you can always use your coupons at Joann's. I did......and saved !!!! |
