OttLite43828C 2-in-1 LED Mag Floor and Table Lamps, 4.69" x 15.38" x 17.38", Silver

The desk lamp on my hobby table gave out last week. I got a replacement bulb, but it still didn't work. So much for a generic item--it only lasted about a year and a half.I was trying to decide what to get as a replacement, when I remembered this lamp--I have had one in my bedroom beside my bed for years--3 1/2 years now--no issues, the lightbulb still hasn't needed replacing, and I use it every day.I have loved Ott Lites for years--I was first interested in them when I realized I--a Southern Californian by birth--was overwhelmed and sad in the gloomy cold winters here in the US South. They are wonderful and bright. Now, as I age, I love them all the more.I was able to set this new one up behind my desk--since I'm still using it as a floor lamp, I'm saving space on my desk surface! It also works as a tabletop lamp, though the base is quite large for that.In my bedroom, I haven't used the magnifying lens much, but it does come in handy. For my craft space, I know that I will definitely use the lens more often. I wish it had a flip-top cover to keep the lens from getting dust on it, but that's a lttle complaint. It's easy enough to wipe off periodically.The neck bends easily but stays where you put it. I can also twist it to the side easily (I do that all of the time in my room--toward me on the bed, then away from me when I'm not using it so it isn't in the way)--the entire top part (including the connector) moves easily on the lamp post.If you are hesitant, I say GO FOR IT.

I bought this light for my 91 year old Mom who loves to embroider.The floor lamp seemed a little too tall and the neck didn't seem to put the light in the right spot for her. We ended up removing the bottom post, unscrewing the threaded inner part of it and screwing it into the bottom of the top post so it would be half as tall, then set the light into that as normal. It ended up being the perfect height for her as she sits in her chair. If the neck of the lamp would have been longer, it would probably have been fine, but the flexibility of it was not enough that she could place it to use comfortably. It was nice we could configure it work perfectly. She loves it and will probably use it daily. It's heavy enough to be stable for her, but not too heavy that she can't move it around to suit her needs. She can see great with or without her glasses using it. The lights are nice and bright I plan to get one for myself now for handwork and quilting.

I've been an Ott Light fan for years. I bought this hoping to use it not only as a floor lamp, but as a table lamp. The light is great, as expected. Magnifier works really well, especially when I'm doing applique. Make sure to keep track of all the part they send with your order. I misplaced the connections to use when I changed it from the floor lamp to the table lamp. I was really frustrated, until I found where I'd placed the screws needed to connect the top of the lamp, to the very heavy base. Now the light is on my sewing table & is just what I need.

I purchased this light for my mother who has macula degeneration. This light is fantastic! It helps her function when doing small tasks or crocheting. The only issue I had was the base of the light was chewed where you connect the poles. It didn't hinder the functionality of the light or assembly. However, for the amount of money spent on it, you would think the light would be in pristine condition. That's why I gave it 4 stars.

I am a Beader, so I need to have my hands free while I do even close-up work. These lamps are great. I can sit and position the magnifier over my work, and the light around the magnifier keeps things easily visible, while the magnifier really helps to do the fine beadwork with very small beads. They bend well, and although I prefer the floor stand, I can see the benefit of the table stand as well. They are easy to assemble. I liked this light so much, I now have 3 of them, stationed around the room, one for calligraphy and 2 for beading! They're really useful.

Great light with nice versatility. You can make it a tabletop or floor light. The light is very bright and the magnification is perfect. Downsides- the goose neck does not bend down enough to get the mirror over your lap. It bends at an awkward angle. If you say, sew in a comfortable chair the angle may be difficult. I t needs a 350 goose neck instead of a 180. The bubble magnifier on the glass is useless and distorts. They don't need it. My eyes are very bad and the full magnifier glass is more than adequate. I can thread the tiniest bead needle with ease. The light is the real hero here. Just perfect. I haven't used this as a tabletop light yet but I would think it would be easier to move it to the right position but it might be too tall to bend the neck just so. If you do any beadwork you will want this. I don't think it would be quite as functional to read by. I use my hand held glass that is more movable and user friendly.

It was easy to assemble. Bright lightFlexibile. Can move it to where you need it

My wife loves to knit and her current project is a winter hat made from black yarn with a burgundy pattern. She was having difficulty seeing how her pattern was developing because of the lack of contrast. She has used OttLite products before and loves the true tone colors and sturdy construction. I grabbed this model for her because it can switch between a floor and desk model. Quality is up to OttLight standards and contrast issues are gone. The magnifier is a terrific aid for general work and a higher magnification inset lens lets you get down to a detailed view.Good value for the money and great light. If you need any help with handwork in terms of light and magnification, OttLite should be your first choice.

Very nice stand up lightIt's a little tall for my chair but it's a good ideaThat it can be used for a table light because I am using it for that.Super strong medel frame.And it is very heavyI am very happy with this lightThank u seller and Amazon for the fast deliveryI use it for all my coloring booksAnd super bright I do recommend this light to everyone how is interested in this light.

I love this lamp! I bought it so I can see my puzzle pieces clearly. It works like a charm. The light is bright, the magnification is great. If one thing could be improved, it would be the attachment for the base. Even though it's snapped into place, if I move it (to have a closet look at my work) it has a tendency to come loose.

very good lamp

I bought it for my husband who had eye problems and with this lamp he could read the paper etc. which really improved his life

Bought for daughter who says its good.
