I have the tall stand up Ott with the magnifier and really like it - use it all the time but the only problem that I have with it is that it will tip over fairly easily. I have to be very careful when I move it and on how I position it so that it doesn't topple over.

I have an ott light which I love, but just got a verilux optix at Tuesday Morning and it is much much better. Has 3 settings too!!! Brighter for these old eyes.
My sewing room was in a dark attic bedroom eave with little light from the dormer, my dh had a solatube put in last week, and now I need sunglasses (ha ha) when I sew. what a difference.

I have two Ott lights but I also put natural light bulbs in my ceiling lights and lamps. The natural light is good for you anyway in the winter when you don't get out a lot. I also have a nice bright light on my featherweight which is extremely helpful when I am working on the machine.

When we were travelling this summer I stopped in a Lowe's store looking for an Ott-Lite Floor Lamp. I met a very helpful gentleman there who suggested to me that I didn't need to buy a lamp all I needed was to the the Ott-lite "bulbs".....they now make bulbs that look like regular light bulbs (they have the regular screw in base) but provide full spectrum lighting. I bought a half dozen of these bulbs...I think they were about $5.00 each and I put them in my regular lamps!! They are wonderful!! So I took the couple of hundred $$ I saved and bought some more fabric!! LOL
