Nice! They sell the actual Ott Lite for only $42.49! That is half the price you find in stores. http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat3247 <http://www.joann.com/joann/catalog.jsp?CATID=cat3247&PRODID=prd2654> &PRODID=prd2654 Julie Adkins, MA, CVRT Julie Adkins, MA, CVRT Certified Vision Rehabilitation Therapist Metrolina Association for the Blind 704 Louise Avenue Charlotte, NC 28204 704-887-5121 <http://www.mabnc.org> www.mabnc.org CONFIDENTIALITY NOTICE: This e-mail message, including any attachments, is for the sole use of the intended recipients(s) and may contain confidential and privileged information.

I will go back to showing the Ott Lite to clients (but it is much more expensive). Nevertheless, a great portable lamp.

It is like the Ott Lite (folds shut to turn off) but only costs about $20 (the Ott Lite is about $75). Their website is http://www.firststreetonline.com/. <http://www.firststreetonline.com/> I just looked and can't find it on their website, though. I have emailed them to see if they have stopped selling it.

I am wondering what do you all recommend for desk and floor task lighting sources. Do you have a favorite couple of different lamps you recommend and why do you choose those particular brands/models. I am a new RT in the field and trying to decide what might be the better options for my customers. Thanks. Shelley L.
