Joanne's was/is having a 50% off all their Ott Lite's, so I broke down and bought one last night! Regular $200.00 for $100.00, how could I not???!! I love it! It is amazing the difference it makes, I can actually see the exact colors of stamps/ papers, etc without either assuming and hopes it matches or walking outside or in my bathroom for a quick color check! The light in my craft room is not the greatest, but boy am I glad I got it. I have been stalking it for awhile now! I just had to share this with all of you enablers!! Forums at Splitcoaststampers
I have one in my craft room. I'd love to have another for when my stamping friends come over and we need 2 tables. I really can't justify it, but it would be nice to have. Eileen

I'm happy for you. It really does make a difference. I got a small table-top one a while back.
I realized when I scanned my cards before that there were actually white places where I had missed coloring with my markers!
When I bought mine, a lady at the store said she had 3 of them. One for her craft spot, one for her bedside table to read by, and one in her den. Ancient eyes need good light!

I have so been wanting one but can't justify the cost yet. Ask me in a year though. Maybe I can bring myself to get one.
Check Joann's for unadvertised specials. Right before leaving on vacation (a week or so ago) I found an ott-lite marked down to $50 (from $270). Model name is ARIAL - it might be a model that was being discontinued...don't know & didn't care it was such a deal! I should have picked up another & will be going back to see if they have any left.

I bought myself one for Mother's Day and boy am I glad. It has a magnifying window as well. I am now enjoying my hobby at night. Before I could only stamp or scrapbook during the day when the sun shined in.
BTW I was gone for a week and when I came back, there was a map under my OTT lamp. Guess hubby found a good use for my lamp as well. LOL

I bought my tabletop light about 5 months ago when Joann's had them on sale for 50% off and I think I made the BEST investment! When they are on sales again for 50%, I need to stock up on bulbs. I just Love mine.
I love those OTT lights, they are definitely a MUST HAVE!

Thanks for posting. I really want one but haven't purchased one yet. I think My parents are getting me a gift card to JoAnns for my bday - maybe that is what I'll get!!
Check out the Lowe's and Home depot for the ott light too. I know Lowes just put what they had on clearence for 56.00, reg. 119. and that was for the floor lamp, of corse they don't have any left. I have found that those stores sell those lights at alot cheaper cost.
I'm getting my husband one for Father's Day. He does woodworking and I know it would be a big help. He bought me one for Christmas a couple of years ago and I don't know what I would do without it.
Hey! Joann's has free shipping right now and with a 50% off coupon why not? And don't let him borrow it either!! :twisted:
Bwahahaaaaaa, who's stampin outside now? I just ordered me the pink portable one lol!!!!!! *but honeeeeeey, it's been raining so much I can't stamp outside* hehe
I just discussed with my DH I'd like another, and about the 50% sale at Joann's, with free shipping. I ordered mine yesterday. It will be great when my stamp group comes over.
Susanerne: Tell your DH that their are beds of flowers outside, and he can sleep there. Just kidding

I've had my original Ott lite for at least 8 years, and haven't had to replace the bulb yet. I've considered getting one when I see a 50% sale just to have on hand.

I currently have the light that sits on the shelf next to the Ott Lite (it's probably the generic version) and I think it may have a short in it. The bulb goes out and then I tap in and it goes back on. Maybe this week I'll get out to pick one up...
I can't stamp with out the proper lighting, right?
Question to those that had had Ott lites for a long time-I heard from a guy that when the "ballast" goes out it is hard to find a replacement. Now, I thought the light was the ballast. Grief. So then, are the replacement lites ballast lites???? This sounds confusing. Sorry
I just got an Ott Lite!
