I have a tabletop one with a weighted base. It also comes with a clamp to use instead of the weighted base. I've had it for over 10 yrs. and I'm still on the first light bulb! It's on just about everyday and I love the bright light it gives me in order to sew, cut or design and draw anything. I like the fact I can adjust it wherever I need it, even turn it up vertically to shine on my design wall behind my table. It's very much worth the money I paid for it.

I have the small one and I really like it for handwork but I have a floorstanding one that wont work and it seems they aren't fixable. It was expensive and hadn't had a lot of use. I looked at forums to get info about getting it fixed and it seems a lot of people have problems with them.

I found my one floor ott light at Office Max on clearance. It is good, but I think now one can buy light bulbs that are equivelant in "light value" nowadays at the local big box store....

I do have a floor lamp as well, but that light doesn't seem to be as bright as my table lamp. I bought a screw in bulb to go in a reg. lamp over my couch, thinking it would be great for reading with, but it wasn't bright enough. I returned it.

At 75, I need all the light I can get and personally feel the Ott lites can't be beat.

Both my daughter and granddaughter use Ott lites for their beading/jewelry making.

If I had my way, every light in my house would be an Ott light!!!

The lamp I use in the lounge room fell apart where the first section from the light bulb goes up and down. It cannot be repaired so I have to go and look for another one. But that won't be until my Christmas money comes in at the beginning of December. I will look for a better quality one. Where is the best place for them here in Australia please?

I don't care for them at all and I have 3. Also remember it IS the bulb and not the lamp that is doing the lighting. My most expensive one is sitting outside headed to my dad's garage for whatever he wants to use it for. IMHO save your money.
