OTT-LITE ® The Original Full-Spectrum TRUE COLOUR LAMP

We are now selling the shielded and portable task lamp which is one of the finest innovations in lighting for the workplace and the home. It's ergonomic design allows you to focus natural shielded light directly where you need it for maximum comfort and convenience. It's low power consumption and long life bulb will last years and save on energy costs.

The quality of illumination is clear, non-glaring and an accurate reproduction of natural sun light. This lamps creates a wide arc of light that will reproduce colours accurately for sewing, needlepoint, cross stitching, embroidery, crocheting, woodworking, woodcarving, leather tooling, model making, ceramics, painting and jewelry design. It'll also provide minimum glare on computer screens for long sessions.

I personally use one at home as my desk lamp in front front of the computer. Although expensive, it really is incredible when you see how it illuminates the work area. Everything just looks clear!
