Darryl,
I've had the Ott light with the flexible neck for about 5 years, and everyone in my house used it so much, I bought 2 more just so I could have one. The original light is still going strong and I haven't had to replace a bulb yet. We use them for all kinds of things, scale modeling, scrapbooking, homework, and my fly tying bench. I wholeheartedly endorse the Ott light.
IMHO, Al Hyde
