I bought a generic light that looks just like the Ott light. I bought it from Walmart several months ago for about $40. It is great. I can see my cross-stitch so much better. I even use it for reading. It is a floor lamp style. I'm just worried if the light bulb should burn out I'm not sure if an Ott light would replace it or not. OH, well I'll have to face that road when I get to it. If I hadn't found this light I was going to buy one at Joann's with my 40% off coupon. Good luck

I have one of the Ott Lights and I love it. I bought mine with a 50% off coupon. I would never stitch with out it again. It really makes a huge difference.

Thank you ladies for you input. I did buy an ott light and use it to cross stitch, quilt and read. I'm glad I got one. I had my doubts but after reading your responses I went ahead and got one. Would recommed it to everyone. Thank you both so much. Peggy
