I also have Ott lights at all my working stations (machines).
I love 'em. My eyes are very good tho I do wear glasses for mild correction. Even so, I have trouble sewing dark colors.
I bought a floor lamp years ago with the bendable arm, circle bulb and a magnifying glass. I paid 1/4th what they cost today. I use it along side my recliner where I do cross stitch while watching TV.

Yes, they will fit in other lamps that use the same plug end. Check out lamps at your local office supply store. I have purchased an Ott light bulb and used it in a regular desk lamp, not their lamp.
Just a word to note, if you begin to have trouble sleeping at night after sewing with an Ott light. You may be light sensitive and will need to watch how much and how late at nite you sew using the light. Ask me how I know this. lol

I have one Ott light next to my sewing machine and one portable one for hand embroidery, etc. in the living room. Got both on sale at Joann's.

Yes, as long as they have a regular bulb adapter. We bought ours from JOAnns it screws in like a regular bulb it was about $11. I am using it as I am writing this in is in our regular lamp we have had for over 10 years. It all depends on how it plugs into the your lamp. They now make bulbs to use in regular lamps.

My mom is 88 and still loves to quilt but her eyes are failing badly. I bought her an Ott floor lamp and she couldn't do without it. I've not actually used one but I have sat down in her chair and read with hers and she's right, it's wonderful.
