I have an Ottlite that I never think to use, but, every bulb in my house is a day-light bulb, much nicer light than an average lightbulb and a heck of a lot easier on the electric bill.

We just moved into a house from an apartment and the first thing my husband did was to change all the bulbs in the fixtures to daylight bulbs. He has chronic depression and the daylight bulbs seem to help him a lot with that in the winter.

I bought a floor lamp at Lowe's for 19.00 that I have by my chair, it has a dimmer 13w daylight bulb facing upward and a stronger 23w daylight bulb facing down towards my chair if I want to sew. Each has it's own switch so if I'm not sewing I just use the upward one for general lighting. My hubby liked the way it worked so he got himself one for reading.

There's a world of difference between an Ott light & ANY OTHER.

Yes, they put out good light.

I have 4 of them that I use and I probably could not sew without them!

Yes Very Well worth it.... we have 4 now 3 of the pop up ones and a floor one by the chair to read or do hand work.All was 50% off except the one dh got at the local Goodwill for $3.99 and the bulb was still good for a long time

I have 3 different ones and love them all!!

I have 3 and love them. First for painting and now for quilting. Couldn't do without them. They are worth the money.

I have them all over the place, by my chair where I read, by my bed where I read, by my sewing machine, by my table where I cut out fabric; I love them and would never be without one anywhere!

I've had the floor one for behind my 'handquilting chair' at night for about 12 years and love it. Then I bought a desk type for my sewing room and enjoy it, too. I have an extra bulb but I've never had to replace it...truly long life.

I have one that is the foldup style for traveling. Hospital rooms and hotel rooms just do not have good lighting. Yes I like it. But for the money and our budget I buy the daylight bulbs for my lamps at home and they work the same or better. I need all the light I can get for my needlework in the evenings. Try the daylight bulbs first before you spend the money on the name brand.
