Posted on: 9/29/11 6:44 AM ET
I got an e-mail of ott lights on sale at JoAnns I was thinking of maybe getting one. Is anyone going to buy one? Do you have experience with the ones at JoAnn's Fabrics?
Thank you!
The one I like is floor lamp single light.

I don't have the Ott one you mentioned but have a knock off from the big discount chain that I saw one day a couple of years back when in the check out as it was in the front of the store. I liked it so much I returned and got another as I have multiple machines and always need supplemental lighting if the day is overcast or sewing dark fabrics. It was very cheap/sturdy for a floor lamp and has those daylight type bulbs. I may still try an Ott for another machine area just to make sure I am not missing something but I really like having these and not moving them about and using as needed at the various machines I have. Our home was built in the 1970s and lighting consisted generally of one light in the center of the room so havingthings like these about as needed is helpful.

If you can get one for a good price, you'll never be sorry. My Ott floor lamp is about 10 years old and I absolutely could not be without it. (Of course my need may be greater than some as my eyes are 60+).

About 6 months ago I bought this one for a steal, during a Joann's online sale:
Ott blue task light
Looks like the colors are no longer available through Joann's, but they have it in black and white, I think.
I love this light, and it has made a huge difference in my ease of sewing. I can move it easily from the sewing table to a shelf above my ironing board, so I always have fantastic lighting, day or night. (It's plug-in, but has a long cord, and my machine and board are placed at right angles to each other.) The handle makes it simple to move, and the light itself adjusts in a wide up-and-down arc. The base swivels as well.
I can pull it quite close to me for hand-work, and for (ugh) ripping out, positioning the light right over the fabric in my lap. I think the true-color aspect is a big help when I'm working with thread and fabric that are a very close match.
Best sewing-related purchase I've made in the last year! I don't think you'll regret getting an Ott light.

I got an ott light lightbulb and put it in my regular lamp a couple of weeks ago and I absolutely love it! It's better than the incandescent or the fluorescent that I had tried in it before. So while I don't have any of their lamps, I can say thumbs up to their lightbulbs

I probably have too many sewing machines, but how am I supposed to resist when they're either free by the side of the road or people give them to me?

Trinity,
What a great idea! I do have the table top task lamp and love it! I also have other lamps that I use and can replace the blubs!
Thanks so much!

I have two of the floor lamps and two of the task/desk top lamps. I love all of them and use them all the time. You can't go wrong having these little gems around to help light up your work areas.
