Title: Hobby lamp opinions/advice please.
Post by: cram on 21 February 2016, 05:18:08 PM

I have had for a last few years an Ottlite hobby lamp and have found it invaluable! It sits on my desk to the right hand side.

I'm now looking at getting a second lamp which I will put to the left of me to provide me with even better lighting. I want one that's very flexible and was looking at this model that seems to be quite new http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00Y7PB5DA/ref=s9_dcbhz_bw_g201_i7_sh, can't find any reviews on it and was wondering if anyone on here owns one, or if they have any other hobby lamps to suggest?

Many thanks.

Don't know about that one, I've recently aquired this one:

So far very good, variable brightness settings as well as light temperature settings.

I have two of these. Bought two daylight bulbs and screwed them in.

I use this...LINK (http://www.amazon.co.uk/OttLite-Watt-Slimline-Table-Black/dp/B00Y7PB1KW/ref=sr_1_4?s=lighting&ie=UTF8&qid=1456170885&sr=1-4&keywords=ottlite+craft+lamp)

The one I have is white case rather than black, but I'm sure it's the same model.

I have a pair of the IKEA ones mentioned above. Good value for money so far.

I am on the ikea lamps with daylight bulbs.  Outstanding value for money and I can re position it anywhere.  It is helpful for finding parts that shoot off my table. 
Snitchy sends.
