Mine floor lamp isn't an Ott light. A friend bought 1 online but was sent 2 floor lamp style lamps. I absolutely love the one she gave me. I have it next to my reading/meditation chair in the living room.
I also have a table top folding Ott light but find I don't use it anymore as the LQS's have good lighting, my machines [except for the FW] have good lighting. For the FW if I feel I need more light I do use the floor lamp. Just the floor lamp is enough for me. ali |
I have an ottlite I purchased the day after Christmas for 75% off at JoAnn's. I have others I had 50% off. I also have a similar lamp from Big Lots. The Big Lots lamp is every bit as effective for me. Don't remember the brand but they have similar advertising to the ottlite. I purchased the floor lamp for $29.99 or $39.99. I use lots of lamps.

I have two. One is over my quilt frame for handquilting and the other is over my chair for hand applique. Love them.

I have a tavle one and a floor one -- I keep the table one at my SM to make it easier to do 1/4 seams and thread the needle.
Both are in WA so next summer I will buy a floor model for here. I think there are clones that are cheaper but my Otts are over 5 yrs old so they have been worth every cent. Before I had eye surgery, I could only see the needle by the flash of the steel. Regular lights weren't bright enough. But the best thing is that there isn't any color distortion or glare. Mim |
www.ottlite.com...they have sales all the time, and I love the 4 that I have. Got two more for $100.00 off their $129.99 price each because the shade was made incorrectly and the correct shades were shipped free as well. You can't buy any kind of lamp for $29.99 that includes a shade and bulb.

I've had a floor style and 2 unfolding for tables for a long time. I just bought at Hancocks 2 table telescoping ones for my machines. I really like them. My eyes are old[ha] and I need them. They were half-price.

I have had 2 floor model Ott lights and the first only lasted 89 days and the second lasted less than a year. I will not buy another although I did really like them when they worked. I currently have a floor lamp I purchased at Home Depot and put a daylight florescent bulb in. It works fairly well, but I did prefer the light that the Ott emitted. Just could not justify the cost with the limited duration of the light.

I thought Ott had a warranty on the light fixture. -- the bulb is not under warranty. I would have taken it back as defective.
Some people buy cheap 3 way bulbs -- I always buy Sylvania because if it blows they are happy to replace them. There is a number of guaranteed hours of use. Mim
