Ott-Lites
#1
I see these Ott-Lites in all the quilting magazines. Does any one have one? I really need a lamp next to my machine but am afraid to spend that much money if they're not that much better than and ordinary lamp. Any comments?

I have an Ott-Lite and love it. I mainly use it when I am doing handwork.. whether it is embrodiery / redwork, hand piecing, handquilting or ripping out a mistake! LOL! I occassionally use it when I am sewing on my machine.. mostly if I have a fabric that is difficult to see.. like sewing with black thread on black fabric. I do think it shows truer colors than regular lightbulbs.
Watch JoAnn's. They have 50% off Ott-Lite sales several times a year. I bought a travel size one so that I could move it around as needed. I also bought a floor model for my mother. She doesn't sew, but has trouble with her eyes and the Ott-Lite has made a huge difference in her ability to see crossword puzzles and books for reading.

I have a floorlamp with three bendable lights at the top It has frosted plastic sides and I have added grow light bulbs You bend them every which way you like. You can set them as close as you like or flood the room with light. The grow lights seem to give more light with out glare. My lamp came from Lowes homecenter.

I almost bought an Ott light, but when I started comparing brands online I decided on an UltraLux light instead. If you go to the site listed below, you can compare their brand with other brands. I love my UltraLux.
