Hey Guys! When I hit 40, my eyes started to do the can’t-see-anything-up-close-anymore thing that usually starts happening around that age. I now have to wear readers to read small text. And I can just forget about reading anything in dim light. So when OttLite contacted me to do a sponsored post for them, I was more than happy to test out one of their table lamps to see if it would help me see stuff I am reading and working on more clearly.
Here’s my new OttLite lamp in my craft room. It was an overcast day when I took these pictures, and the overhead light in this room is not the brightest. Days like this make it really hard to read, write or work on stuff in this room.
The OttLite lamp I received to test out is the LED Desk Lamp with Sliding Dimmer and USB. It comes in black or white, which made me happy because I could choose the color which best coordinated with my craft room (white). I love the sliding dimmer as I can adjust it to just the right brightness no matter what time of day or night. I also love the USB port as it makes it so convenient to charge my phone while keeping it near me as I’m working.
Once I adjusted the Ottlite lamp over my workspace, it was obvious the difference it made. I could see fine print and details clearly without the glare of traditional lamps. But the best part was that I didn’t have any eyestrain and the yukky headache which usually accompanies it.
I decided to take it a step further and see how the OttLite lamp would work for my craft photography. Usually I could forget about indoor photography on overcast days like this. But the OttLite lamp really made a difference as the light is much more natural looking than typical indoor lighting.

I have the little task lamp on my sewing table (otherwise, I’d NEVER get the needle threaded!) and it amazes me how bright it is! I wish I could’ve afforded a bigger, they are kind of pricey, but worth every penny!!
Hi Candy! I agree they are totally work the money! The one I have makes a huge difference in how well I can see what I’m reading or working on.
