Not just for computers! [Posted on 2001-08-02] This lamp was listed as a computer aid but I've seen it listed in all of the sewing magazines that I receive. It is worth every penny that I paid for it. It is large enough that I can rotate it between my craft table and my sewing machine. The light is bright and does not heat the room like some of the halogen lights that I've used. What's even better, it does not distort the fabric colors. I've even used it for matching accessory colors! The brightness and clarify makes tearing stitches out of dark colors a breeze. This lamp is definitely a necessity for anyone who sews or crafts.
Expensive at half the price [Posted on 2002-08-29] My Ott-Lite crane lamp had an arm and fixture which sagged under its own weight (which is light) when extended. That problem was not fatal as it was possible, though not particularly easy, to adjust. However, the flourescent lamp would not work unless I held it up or pressed it inside the fixture. The fixture came with one page of instructions on how to install the flourescent lamp - but nothing else. Simple on-off switch; no dimming. Most of the fixture was manufactured in Taiwan with the Ott-Lite flourescent lamp itself made in Thailand. The appearance of the fixture is satisfactory, but quality control is obviously a problem. Very flashy box! All in all, a disappointment. Better crane lamps can be had at less than half the price.
Best reading lamp made. [Posted on 2003-11-01] I am a computer professional, after a whole day of working on my computer, I come home and read for hours. My eyes were killing me until I changed lamps. Now I can read into the night and I don't get headaches. What a difference! Thank's Dr. Ott my eyes and I thank you.
Ott-Lite L18336 Vision Saver Crane Lamp [Posted on 2007-01-27] Excellent lamp, nice light output. Arm appears flimsy but actually supports lamp quite well. Ballast is in a separate "wall-wart" that does take up a lot of outlet bar space.
Pricey but you get what you pay for. I've been through 2 of the "cheap-os" before buying this one. I'd buy one again.
