As someone who is involved in color technology, I am going to interject
that there seems to be a high proportion of hype in Ott Light
advertising. There is a standard scientific way to measure the
effectiveness of a light source with respect to color perception called
the "Color Rendering Index." Details on it can be found at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Color_rendering_index If you then enter
"Color Rendering Index" (quotes and all) into Google, you will find many
pages of businesses selling lamps and bulbs who quote this number for
each of the products they sell. On the other hand, you won't find it
anywhere at all on the Ott Light web site. Now what they offer may be
pleasant and useful or at least usable for the task, but if it were
anything special, justifying their prices, one would think they would
flaunt it.

Thank you. You got me thinking. I found this page from an Ott light
competitor, Solux http://solux.net/Ott_lite.htm
I would really like to try them side by side. Since the Solux bulb is so
much cheaper than the Ott, I think I may just order one.

It looks to me like Solux has got it about right. Interesting
coincidence, they mention a Kevin McGuire as the maker of Solux. I have
a brother named Kevin, but he definitely doesn't work for them or have
anything to do them.

Mike

Okay, sure, I see it now. Critique the Ott light, get me searching,
find the Solux and boom, I'm now out touting your family business.
Sneeky. :-)

I would really like to do a side-by-side. I know that I can tie a lot
easier with an Ott light than I can with a normal light. I can even do
some work without my reading glasses.
By the way, do you mind is I quote your post over in another newsgroup?
My wife is a quilter and color is even more critical for them.

What, if you snuggle up with one to take a nap, you'll refuse it at the last
second if the color is off a bit?

Quilts or quilters?

Frank

yes, go ahead and quote me. I was away fishing the last few days,
Trinity River and Upper and Lower Sacramento in Northern Calif. As I
said fishing, not catching, results as the say in French, "totalament
eskonkee."

Frank,
Will the Solux bulb work in the Ott lite fixture?
