I have been looking at a lamp for quilting. I used to have one but it broke so I've been using a table lamp that has a swing arm. JoAnns has them on sale. Any advise. Is the wattage an issue? Does anyone have one of those trays that clip on to the stand? How's that?

I really really really want an OTT light!

i really, really wanted an OTT light too but couldnt afford one so i got one of my sons old swivel desk lights and put in a daylight globe and it works great!!

I would be tempted to get the The OttLiteŽ High Definition Natural Lighting screw in bulb from a place like JoAnns and put it into another fixture as Blahel suggested!! There are also other manufacturers that now produce them. Google "full spectrum bulbs" and you will be amazed what you can find. |
I have 2 Ott Lamps and I love them!
One is a floor one that has the swing arm to it and the other is a clip on. |
I have an OTT light and love it when I hand sew. I also have another light that I bought through a mail order catalog and it's just as nice and was only $50 for the floor model. I believe the company name was Back Street. My daughter wanted one of the lights to study with and I found one at, of all places, True Value Hardware. You never know what you're going to find when your hubby is picking up wood.

I think that Ott lights are the best!! I have 2 and wish I had more!!

I bought mine online from Joanns using their 1/2 off and free shipping.

Ott lamps are on sale at JoAnn's - 50% off - at mine that's 50% of $139.99. I LOVE my floor Ott. Light weight - I can move it with one hand. The light truly is like daylight.
I bought my Ott from Nancy's Notions. When it arrived, the bulb wouldn't work. I called them to complain, and they sent a new bulb - and I didn't even have to send them the bulb that didn't work! That's good customer service! I don't know what JoAnn's would do. Blahel's idea of buying a bulb and putting it in a fixture you already have sounds good to me, though. It's worth trying. Mammaskeeto -I Googled, but I couldn't find Back Street, but $50 fo the floor model is fantastic! Did that include shipping ? I tried True Value, but they don't sell on-line. We have to check at our local stores. It's worth a try! |
I love my Ott floor lamp...
