Lamp Question ???
#21
The one I have looks like the photo posted by grammypammy7 on page 1. It has a flexible neck-mine also has a detachable magnifyer (which I hardly use-actually, it gets in the way if I leave it on!).

I use a flexible arm table lamp directly behind my machine and bend the arm just over the machine for maximum light. Also use the new Bendable Brightlight that sticks on the side of the machine. I can position the light right over my stitching. Works so great I forget to turn on the ceiling light as it gets dark.

They sell lights at the Big Lots store that look like the ott lites.They are by far much cheaper and that is what my son used in his profession as a tattoo artist which requires good lighting.He liked them better than the ott lite.

My husband and I both have floor lamps that look like Ott lights but without the name. We got the first ones at ShopKo. His got knocked over and now is not working. Found a replacement at Big Lots for $40. Works just fine and we love them for reading or handwork.

I have 2 Ott-Lits, one is a floor model, which sits over my ironing table. The other has a heavy base and sits behind my sewing machine on the table. I can bend the lamp up to shine on my design surface behind my table or if I'm standing to cut fabric or over my machine, wherever I need it to see. I love it. The bulb is the original and is over 10 years old.
