    Which Ott lamp isn't? Lol, I have two table top desk type ones (less expensive). One is set up so that it shines into my sewing machine throat from the back. It has a bendy neck which makes it easy to use without getting in the way. The other is on my desk and moves from place to place as needed.

    I have a floor Ott which is beside my chair for handwork. Also have a smaller Ott with a flexible neck which is kept between my serger and the sewing machine. Then I purchased two daylight bulbs for the ceiling fixture - they are as good as the Ott for providing a "true" light to work by. I like a very bright room when I'm working on projects.

    I have the table mount lamp for the sewing machine. I have the stand one next to the La-z-boy recliner. I have a desk one for seeing items on my desk and I have the original folding one that isn't be used that much. One can NEVER have enough Ott lamps!!

    I love the Ott lamps in my sewing room! I have a floor lamp between my sewing machine and serger that I can turn to shine on the machine I am using. I have another floor lamp behind my sewing chair, and a desk lamp that I move between my ironing board and cutting table. I once had a floor lamp there; but moved it to my den by the chair I sit in for hand sewing. I also have a folding Ott lamp that I take to classes, etc. I would have trouble sewing without my Ott lamps.

    Love my Stella, i rarely use my Ott light since i bought Stella. Adjustable light levels, nice long cord, flexible neck, never gets hot.

    Do you mean quilting on your DSM?

    I have a table top Ott style lamp but don't use it much at all as my floor lanp style Ott lamp is more flexible.
