I really couldn't sew without it! Love mine :D :-D :D

Have three. Love them.

Ain't dat da trooth!

I just purchased my third lite (have the small ottlite that I take to class and a daylight by my chair for needlework) at JoAnne's - The OttLitewas 62% off plus I had a 20% off total purchase (including sale items)-- fantastic deal --- now trying to figure out how to arrange it by my machine.

I have three of them and yes they are worth the money but if you watch Joann Fabrics they will run them 50% off or when they are regular price use a 50% coupon. thats how I bought all three of mine.

I LOVE all my OTT lites! When I purchased my first one (years ago) they had a special bulb that doesn't have the regular base (it plugs in).It's a floor lamp. I have two Ott Lights in my Keeping Room for reading, working on my laptop, etc. They look like very nice.They look like library lights - brass. I have one floor lamp in my sewing room.

You are so right about using cheaper bulbs. I use the Bright Light curly florescent bulbs that you can find at places like Lowes or Home Depot.

I have a small table ott light that I use behind my sewing machine. I can place it where I want for where I want extra lighting. I really like it. I also have a different type beside my bed for reading in bed. It give me the light to read by without disturbing my husband.

I have a floor lamp Ottlite in my sewing room and I really like it. I bought a full spectrum floor lamp from Menards and I really like that too. It's not quite as large as the ott light but reg. Price is only$29! I got mine for $20. I also have the Ott light book light which I really love.

I love my ott light. I got mine on clearence at JoAnn's. It is soooo nice. Seems to be a true light. Much different than regular light bulbs.

Yes I have one. It has a push floor switch which I love.
Also a big clip to hold the pattern/picture of current project and a magnifer. I could not sew at night without it. Got mine at Hobby Lobby with a 40% coupon. Have had it 3 years and have not had to change bulb yet. And it is on rollers. Great to move around.

I have a tabletop one and I love it!

I use to do counted cross stitch and it was a great help. I have the floor model, but don't use it so much for quilting tho, mainly as the layout of my room and tables prevents me from putting it near my machine.

i do hand quilting use my otlite all the time its the best

love mine

I love mine and you can get some good buys at JoAnn's

I found an architechs (sp) lamp that moves every way but loose! I have a day light bulb in it and I love it! I got the lamp for just $5.00!! Doesn't hurt to look around at these old thrift stores, ya never know what you may find! :thumbup: :-D

I did the same thing. I really like the light it gives off-very helpful when doing handwork at night

I bought a generic one for a fraction of the price at a discount store and love it.

I have lots of them. Floor type, table tops, crafting carry along sizes. They are wonderful. I have started ordering the bulbs from their website for all my lamps. DH loves the natural lighting.

We have 8 ott-lites in the house and love them! I purchased them from the ott-lite website - many more choices and better prices than usual stores.

I have Ott lights all over my sewing room. I can't work with out them. If you live near a Costco they have them for really cheap.

Love mine but my daughter got it at a much discounted price at Odd Lots.

I didn't like mine gave away the person I gave it to gave it away!!!!!

I swear by my OttLites for all my up close work - from paying bills to quilting.

I have two and love them both. One is a floor pedestal type that I bought at a second hand store for $3.00!! The other one is a desk light. Am thinking about getting a third one when JoAnns has them for half price again.

The quilt you have on display is gorgeous. I am glad you asked the question as I have trouble seeing close up.

I have two stand lamps and 5 smaller sizes in the ottlites. I use a small fold up one to take with me sewing and beading. They are great for what they are made for. True there are other brands out there but I find my ottlites made really well and can be purchased oftentimes on sale for 40 percent off.

I have two and can't imagine how I survived without them!! I have one that converts-I can use it on a table/desk with the heavy base, or take it out of the base an mount it on my quilt frame. I also have a bracket that I can put it in that attaches to a table or desk, which doesn't take the space up with the base. The other one is the table lamp with the caddy-got both from Joann's 50% off. I now want one on a floor stand that I can use behind the couch. So, yes, WELL worth the money. I heard some people say the bulbs don't last, but I have had my first Ott light (the convertable one) for about 5 or 6 years, with very heavy daily usage, and only replaced the bulb twice. I have had the smaller desk lamp a little over a year and still with the same bulb. So the extra bulbs I got 50% off, are still sitting in my sewing chest.

I have a knock off and works great was a give away by Orek vacuum

love this-got my chuckle for the day-thanks!!

They're worth the money. Gives daylight light. Easier to see by.

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 have several (all bought on sale) and love them, but now that they are also making bulbs for regular lamps, I am just buying the bulbs.

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 5 and love them. I watch coupons for Joann's and Hobby Lobby for the bulbs. The lights are so much easier on my eyes and don't generate as much heat as a regular lamp.

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.

They are terrific and the bulbs are very longlasting. Using a coupon to buy makes it an even better deal. I doubt you would be disappointed.

I have an Ott light, but I like the stick on light that attaches to my machine, better. I have one of the expensive ones and it droops down. I also have a Dritz that I got at JoAnn's with my coup for under 10 dollars and I love it. It uses 3 AAA batteries. I also have a Daylight floor lamp that I love for hand sewing and Knitting.

I have two and use them both!
