OttLite Review

January 27, 2015

 

 

OttLite Giveaway

 

I’ve been a fan of OttLite for a long time now. I’ve owned a few different types and you can see that I have two of the big floor models in my studio.

The photo is from this post and, trust me, it doesn’t look quite as clean and organized today.

I’ve probably had those lamps for 4 or 5 years and they still use the original light bulbs. I use them every time I’m at those tables and I love the quality of light.

 

OttLite Giveaway

 

I just received the OttLite Craft Caddy Lamp for review and I’ve got to admit I’m crazy about it.

It has all of these removable storage compartments, a lamp that is adjustable, an extra outlet in the back to plug in a glue gun or other tool and a carrying handle. This is a great lite for taking to classes or for more portable projects around the house.

 

OttLite Giveaway

 

I was also sent the 13w Folding Task Lamp folds in half to close, has a handle for carrying and sits on a swivel base so that you can direct the light just where you want it.

 

OttLite Review and Giveaway

 

It also includes a small magnifier in the hood of the lamp for working on small projects like jewelry or needle point.

I have a lamp similar to this that I use on the end table where I sit and do handwork while watching TV in the evening. I like it a lot but I’m sure my tired eyes will make use of the magnifier on this new one.

 

Again, this is a great lamp for taking along to classes for those of us who need a little more help seeing in large rooms.

 

OttLite Review and Giveaway

 

The best part about this whole post though is that I get to give one of these lamps to one lucky winner. The winner gets to choose which one they want (Either the folding lamp or the lamp caddy).

And if you aren’t the winner (I wish I could give one to each of you) you can buy one of your own through my affiliate link below.

    Woo Hoo! I’m sooooo excited to win this Ott Lite!!!! Thank you, thank you! I know just how I will use it. Oh my goodness, I’m ready to do a dance!

  • Carol LaBella February 3, 2015 at 9:41 am

    Please post the winner…..would be nice to know someone won it.

  • Kathryn February 2, 2015 at 9:34 pm

    Thanks for the chance to win an OttLite! I think I’d go for the folding light. I have an OttLite on my paper crafting table but I’m getting more and more into sewing and my eyes could use a little help, especially when I keep having to take out errant stitches! I appreciate you taking the time to share your reviews.

  • Debbie Fisher February 1, 2015 at 9:02 am

    Thank you so much for a chance to win. We live in a 100+ yr old farmhouse and the lighting is so poor. This would be great for having right where I am working any time of the day.

  • Jean Bullock January 31, 2015 at 7:02 pm

    Gosh, I would love to have Ott light up my life. Would love to be able to see what I was doing when I am crafting.

  • lisascreativeniche January 30, 2015 at 10:08 pm

    Thanks for the chance!

  • barb macaskill January 30, 2015 at 1:54 pm

    What a fantastic giveaway!! I love OttLite’s and would love to have one to place on my work table! I have a section that has NO light and this would be perfect! I would also use it to be able to see under my work table where my paper stash is in bookcases and there is no light there either as I realized the other day. Had to bring a flashlight in to be able to see what was there and STILL picked the wrong shade of paper! UGH! Thanks for the chance to remedy this situation!

    • Vicki O'Dell January 30, 2015 at 2:32 pm

      Good Luck Barb!

      • barb macaskill January 30, 2015 at 2:34 pm

        My cardstock would thank you if I am the random winner!

        • barb macaskill February 3, 2015 at 2:51 pm

          Am I THE Barbara M that won this??? God I hope so!

          • Vicki O'Dell February 3, 2015 at 3:11 pm

            I’m sorry Barb, it was Barbara. πŸ™
            I wish I could send you one too.

  • Rubeena January 30, 2015 at 1:11 pm

    Thank you!! I so need this

  • Amy Martin Jones January 30, 2015 at 11:06 am

    I have been looking at these for a while and havent bought one because the price seemed too high to me for a light. For a single mom on a very tight budget, I just couldn’t take the chance. I’m glad you did a review on them. I have always wanted the caddy one. I seemed so usable for all my crafty needs. Thank you for the info. Now I know I want one. And thanks for the chance to win one too. May be a good while before I could get one. Hugs

  • Jennifer taylor January 30, 2015 at 9:37 am

    Oh That light is sooo cool! Thanks for a chance!

  • Lori Cassidy January 29, 2015 at 10:38 pm

    There’s on a couple rooms in my house that don’t have Ott Lights. I have had the one with the magnifier for a while and use it often. Ott Light is a terrific company to work with when I needed to replace one of the bulbs. Terrific people! Thank you for the opportunity to win one! I think I would have to go with the caddy. πŸ˜€

  • Jenelle Reyes January 29, 2015 at 4:37 pm

    I love OttLite! They are a little out of my price range but I’ve heard so many great things about them! I love the caddy! Thanks for the chance to win!

  • Monette Bright January 29, 2015 at 4:08 pm

    Thanks for w chance to win. I am new to your site and this looks so intriguing.

  • Kate January 29, 2015 at 1:25 pm

    I’m so glad you liked the caddy! I have wanted it so bad, but wasn’t sure. I have an ottlite I got on clearance for 15.00 and love the light, but it is fixed. And takes up room on my table.
    Thanks for the giveaway!

  • Julia January 29, 2015 at 11:36 am

    Well, I got entered twice and man do I need this lite. I have looked at them in the past, but were never in my budget $$. I have Sjogren”s which attacks the mucus membranes and effects the eyes. My home is older so there is limited lighting and few and small windows. Wish me luck!

  • eileenkny January 29, 2015 at 7:39 am

    Hi Vicki, I’ve got the older folding light and I love it! Can always use another, especially in my longarm studio. Thanks for doing this giveaway.

  • chidchat0904 January 29, 2015 at 1:48 am

    I’m New to Scrapbooking/Papercrafting. I don’t have an Ottlite….looks like this would be great to own, would make it so much easier to see while Crafting. THANKS for the Chance to W I N !!!

  • Shelley January 28, 2015 at 11:14 pm

    Sigh… don’t tweet either but am a loyal follower on Facebook and LOVE your reviews (have helped me part with my money on a number of occasions lol)!

  • Judi B January 28, 2015 at 10:01 pm

    I LOVE the ideas on both lamps, especially the caddy! You can never have too many OttLites! I own two: floor lamp & a small one on my craft table. The caddy would be great to take to crop events!!!

  • Joanne Keith January 28, 2015 at 9:59 pm

    I haven’t owned one …yet…someday I will! Thank you so much for the chance. I am loving reading your blog and FB page!

  • kathleen schriber January 28, 2015 at 9:19 pm

    ott lites are the easiest for me to see my close up work. it’s the only light i can work with in the evenings. thank you for the chance to win this.

  • PeabuttonsMom January 28, 2015 at 5:15 pm

    Well, pooh, Vicki! I don’t do the twitter thing. Oh well. I have entered what I could and faithfully follow you on Facebook already. πŸ™‚ Hugs girlfriend! ~ Bonnie

    • Vicki O'Dell January 29, 2015 at 1:15 pm

      Bonnie, don’t forget that you can enter every day.
      I hope that helps! πŸ™‚

  • Sandy Smith January 28, 2015 at 1:50 pm

    The craft caddy looks wonderful. I have 2 Ott lights. One in my kitchen to help read those recipes where the print keeps getting smaller and smaller, and one for crafts. I had another one but my son stole it for his apartment.

    • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 4:43 pm

      Man, the number of things that go missing when a kid moves out Sandy is amazing! πŸ™‚

  • Mac W January 28, 2015 at 1:43 pm

    Looks great.. I had a daylight lamp which lasted years and then the company went out of business so I could never find another bulb. Thinking positive on winning πŸ™‚

  • Kris January 27, 2015 at 8:31 pm

    I’m an Ott Light junkie! I have 5 of them scattered in various places throughout the house and I couldn’t craft without them. What a great giveaway! Good luck everybody!

    • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 11:17 am

      Good luck to you too Kris! πŸ™‚

  • Elizabeth Etheridge January 27, 2015 at 5:53 pm

    I have a free standing Ott lite in the craft room and it’s the only thing that has room to stand in there these days. I have the craft caddy model on a desk by my front window for when I want to enjoy the views and craft a bit. I would love the little folding one since it doesn’t take up hardly any base room and is so easy to move around. We have a lot of gray days here in Winter and the more Ott lights the better.

    • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 11:19 am

      Yes, an Ottlight is definitely a necessity for those of us who craft through gray winters!
      Hope you are staying warm Elizabeth!

  • Peggy W January 27, 2015 at 5:16 pm

    I have never owned one, but have seen them advertised a lot! This looks awesome for a desk. Thank you for the give-a-way.

    • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 11:20 am

      Good luck Peggy!

  • Denaha January 27, 2015 at 4:59 pm

    I’ve always wanted an OttLite! That little caddy is just stinking adorable! Fingers Crossed!!!

    • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 11:20 am

      I love a product that is useful in more than one way Denaha. Good luck!

  • Dianne Schussler January 27, 2015 at 4:09 pm

    I have an Ottlite with a magnifier and I would be lost without it! You can never have too many Ottlites LOL! (Hope all is well, Vicki xoxox)

    • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 11:21 am

      I’ve never had an Ottlite with a magnifier Dianne but I’m looking forward to using this one.
      Good luck!
      I’m doing pretty good. Thanks for thinking of me. β™₯

  • marlene strarit January 27, 2015 at 2:13 pm

    Love the craft caddy one!!

  • Carla Hundley January 27, 2015 at 11:49 am

    Wonderful product and I could
    use one in my new craft shed!
    Love the plug in on it also.

    • Vicki O'Dell January 27, 2015 at 3:19 pm

      Ohhh! Good luck Carla.
      BTW can you email me at creativegoddess at vickiodell dot com?
      You won the $25 amazon gift card and my email doesn’t seem to be getting to you.

      • Carla Hundley January 27, 2015 at 7:49 pm

        How fun! I sent you a e-mail.
        Thanks so much.
        Carla from Utah

        • Vicki O'Dell January 28, 2015 at 11:18 am

          Super Carla, I’ll take care of that this afternoon. πŸ™‚

  • Nicole January 27, 2015 at 10:59 am

    I have a small Ottlite and absolutely love it. I do need to get a larger one!

  • Teresa Jaye January 27, 2015 at 9:13 am

    love the addition of the outlet and the magnifying glass. Would be hard to decide which one! Thanks for sharing!

    • Vicki O'Dell January 27, 2015 at 11:01 am

      I know, Teresa. Both ideas were genius.
      Good luck!
      xoxo

  • Norene Schlader January 27, 2015 at 7:20 am

    I really like the idea of the one with the plugin in the base! Plus it looks to fold down pretty small.

    • Vicki O'Dell January 27, 2015 at 11:02 am

      Yes, it is pretty small Norene. About the size of a dinner plate in circumference and about 7 inches high (I’m guessing).

      • Jackie Burkhalter January 30, 2015 at 1:25 pm

        I would love to win. Have wanted one of these for a very long time but they have been out of my price range and they would help me so much with all of the crafts that I enjoy doing
