Sick & Tired of Struggling in Poor Light?
If you're looking at this Ottlite Lamp, chances are...
- Your light source at home is inadequate. It gives a yellow hue that affects your work.
- You wish that you have the same natural dayligh at night - when crafting or reading.
- You're sick & tired of headaches & eye-strains from poor lighting - there's
got to be an easier way!
You're Not Alone.

That's because household lighting was designed for ambience - not specifically for your practical hobby needs.
And that's where your eye-starins and headaches start...
"This lamp is the third Ott-Lite I own.
These have the best light to do close work with and I particularly like how it gives me true colours - just like natural daylinght.
What a wonderful store to deal with! Great price and great service - thank you Shelley! "
- Jean, a Happy Customer
What if having MORE productive hours in a day was easier than you think?
What would it be like to NEVER have to put up with physical discomfort - and
- No more headaches
- No more eye strains
- No more feeling hot & flustered from working next to a hot lamp, ever again?
Often the hard part is to come up with exactly the right tool, for the right job, at the right price. Of course, there is no doubt that in order to create beautiful things, you need to practice.....
But the first step is having the right equipment.
The Best Kept Secret for Endless Natural Daylight is an Ott-LIte!
Simply fick the switch and you can enjoy natural daylight 24/7 - voila!

Here's a little bit of insider information...
Having worked for a decade or so behind the scene in the clothing industry, I was formally trained as a Fashion Designer - and later spent 10 years teaching others the joy of sewing and patchwork. I like to share insider tricks, and I believe in doing things properly.
Now, let me share a little confession...
Just like you, I never seem to be able to have enough time for sewing. And when I do, it's often at night - when using natural daylight for accurate colour and fabric selection isn't possible.
After several attempts (and LOTS of mismatched colours) I was fed-up with having to do the work all over again during the day. With time I don't have. Ugh...
This means I can honestly say I know your pain.
Well, the long and the short was that I simply did NOT want to put up with wasting time & effort, so I went and found myself a solution. And the rest, as they said, was history :-)
So this is the lamp I actually use myself.

"Save your eye sight, use your OttLite!
I’m 53 years old and wear trifocals, in order for me to sew binding and other detailed hand work I depend on my OttLite Task Lamp to help me make small even stitches.
When I make mistakes and have to rip out… it’s much faster when you can see what you’re doing!
Now choosing the right colour cotton to match your fabric is a breeze too..... I don't know how I got by without one before!"
- Judy, a Happy Customer
After all... we all want to have fun enjoying our hobby .....
Rather than Struggling and Straining... Right?

Unless they have good lighting.
However - brighter isn't always better .

Because while brighter light reveals vibrant colours, it also causes a harsh glare - which causes your eye muscles squint and strain.
Other light sources reveal high contrast so that edges of objects appear clear, but the drawback is distorted color.
Also, the more intense the light, the more energy that's used, generating more heat which can make working near them hot and uncomfortable.
Ott-Lite comes with a solution to all these problems by providing the ideal balance of brightness and contrast.
The result is reduced glare, less eyestrain, and low heat so you can achieve better results quickly and easily without straining your eye sight .
Why Not Order One Today.

"I own two OttLites. The first OttLite I purchased was for quilting, it makes all the handwork clear and easy to see.
My grandmother, who has macular degeneration, started using it to read. As her eyesight deteriorates she uses the OttLite for everything; reading books, prescription bottles, letters, as well as finding things in her purse. So we purchased another for her."
- Marla, a Happy Customer

See the difference?
How does it work? Let's find out....
Here’s what their website says, “Ott-Lite lighting is expertly engineered with 508 Technology™ to bring the quality of High Definition Natural Lighting™ indoors”.What's the 508 Technology™?
Ott-Lite provides a Full Spectrum lighting system that is scientifically formulated to simulate natural daylight indoors. The term "Full Spectrum" is used to define a light source with a CCT (Correlated Color Temperature, refers to a measurement of the actual color appearance of light, NOT heat) of 5000K or higher and a CRI (Color Rendering Index) of 85 or higher.
How was it invented?

During the filming of Cinderella (1950) for Walt Disney Dr. Ott discovered the formulation so Disney could film a pumpkin-growing sequence inside a studio.
The pumpkin grew. The studio filmed.
And Cinderella arrived at the ball....!

This light was created to replicate the wavelengths in the visible spectrum of sunlight in balanced proportions. Dr. Ott used a specially formulated blend of rare earth phosphors to create an artificial light source that looks and feels like natural daylight, this is now known as the 508 Technology™.
Dr. Ott went on to devote the next decades to refining his remarkable achievement to the full spectrum lighting industry. The same Company that helped develop Winter Blues (SAD) lighting therapy with the physicians at John's Hopkins School of Medicine, has created the Ott-Lite Lighting System.
Sounds impressive, huh? I’m just glad it works.

When you read, sew, paint / draw or work on anything that requires colour matching WITHOUT an Ott-Lite, you will find:
- Your colour choice will look different and often less than ideal in natural light.
- By the time you realised how tired you are, you have already strained your eye sight. Not fun...
- Worst of all: you start to avoid utilising the evening hours, so there is less time to enjoy your hobby!
Why? Because standard household lighting are NOT designed with your hobby or special needs in mind. Instead, they are mass produced to meet the budget of an average household.





You see, the life-span of these standard light globes / tubes are fairly short compared to the Ott-Light globes and tubes - so that the average household users need to replace them often. Good for the manufacturer, Not So Good for you.

Why should you risk your eye sight, put up with discomfort, and feel hot & flustered under a standard desk lamp when you really should be enjoying your hobby?!

It is the best light I have found for my macular degeneration. I can see more clearly and with less strain.

" I love my Ott-Lite Task Lamp! This compact, light-weight lamp travels well anywhere. I take my little light anywhere I know I will have a plug, like quilting classes and retreats and motels when I travel. It's also handy to use at your sewing machine, though it takes up table space when you are machine quilting. But it's fine for chain piecing.
While the Task Light's Ott-Lite tube uses only 13 watts, it produces about as much light as a 60 watt bulb. All my quilting friends have always thought that it gives a lot more light than that. I'm a person who always wants more light, so this is a real bonus!"

"I bought mine for photography.
Being an avid amateur digital photographer who loved to make my own prints, I finally bought an OTT LITE which is almost a necessity to judge prints... and it really has become one of those, "How did I ever manage my colour without one of these before?
I mean, using sunlight during the day is fine, but that limits when I can work. Not any more!"
- Dan, Amateur Photographer

"I am a secondary school teacher and spend many hours each night grading papers.
The OttLite has made this task easier for me. I have experienced a reduction in eyestrain, due to the lamp’s low glare, which enables me to see details more clearly, no matter how messy the hand-writings!
I just recently started wearing prescription eyeglasses for reading and writing. The OttLite has allowed me to work longer, while completing tasks more comfortably."

"My past desk lamps have generally taken up a significant amount of room on my desk crowding surfaces and still failing to provide sufficient and crisp lighting.
I recently purchased an Ott Light Task Lamp and immediately noticed the difference. The Ott Light 13 watt bulb casts little to no glare upon my computer screen and is small, relatively durable, and easy to flip up and down.
The OttLites are known for improving visual acuity by sharpening images while also reducing eyestrain and I have found this to be true. In addition it gives off very little heat which is an extra bonus for those hot summer nights when you need to study for your exams!"

Ottlite Folding Task LampBy: shivers64161619 on 2 November 2021Fabulous product! My old one's bulb blew & they're hard to get at the moment due to Covid so I just bought a whole new lamp as I could use a second downstairs. Will order a replacement bulb later for the old one. The new one's as brilliant as the last, although I found inserting the bulb a bit trickier (it came wrapped separately for safe transportation). Can't live without my daylight lamp - it helps me SEE so clearly!! Thanks!

A compact and bright light for my sewing table!By: rdowney57311128 on 26 August 2021Even though I love my new sewing machine, Janome Excel so much, the only thing I was not happy was the light is not bright at all. So when I saw this light on your website with excellent reviews, I decided to order one, using the 7% discount voucher. I am so happy I did! It looks smart, the power code is quite long to go around my sewing machine from the power point, it does not strain my eyes and it it gives just right brightness when I sew. I highly recommend it!

Great lightBy: chrisellenjacks on 30 November 2020This is the second of these lamps I have purchased. The lighting is fabulous and the ability to adjust the lighting with a quick movement of hand is just so easy. In addition to this it takes up very space in my sewing space which is always appreciated. Highly recommend. Also delivery was seamless despite all the postal issues we have experienced- well done Sew Much Easier!

So good I have 3 of theseBy: Julia on 28 April 2020this is such a brilliant product I have 3 lamps. One in my studio to assist my glass cutting on dull days, one in my sewing room so I can sew cross stitch at night and one in my travel bag to use when I'm away from home. Having 3 also means I don't panic if a bulb should wear out. So far I've only had to replace one bulb after years of use. This would make a great present for any crafter.

Crochet lampsBy: Sybil Leigh on 19 October 2018I have a floor model lamp purchased by my grandson for my birthday. It's so easy to move around and twin lights I can manouver to so many directions while working on my crochet. I have been regularly using my Ottlite 13watt desk lamp for 14-15 years and only now have I needed a replacement globe. So convenient to just open and close when light is needed on crochet projects. Using this Ottlite is the only way I can use black or any real dark yarns. I just love them.

I love my little Ott-LiteBy: Anne on 10 February 2017This is a great little light, just perfect for that bit of extra light I need at my sewing machine. Lovely soft light. There is just one thing missing, an on/off switch on the light itself, instead of having to turn it off at the PowerPoint all the time.

Love my Ott-LiteBy: Anne on 6 October 2016I bought the Task light recently and I love it. I needed extra daylight while using my sewing machine, and this gives it to me. I am very happy with it

Fantastic sewing lightBy: Sandra on 3 April 2016I have used the Ott lite for many years since my sewing machine light bulb went ..it provides a much better light and makes sewing a pleasure. I recently replaced the bulb after what must have been 6 or more years of daily use, so well worth the money.....
