The lamp does not balance properly especially when using the magnifier. In addition it is poor quality since the lamp section snapped (broke)off the pole. very disappointing since I had liked ottlamps
Very good for crafts extremely good product you will not be disappointed. I had a house fire and mine was damaged I needed to get a replacement I did not pick another brand or style I got the same one I had before if that doesn’t tell you how much I liked it I don’t know what will.
I'm an artist and have had this lamp for a long time now after purchasing it at an Arts and Craft show in Adelaide around ten to twelve years ago. It has travelled with me all over the place, including using it on a boat for 6 years.
As I have gotten older my eyesight has gotten worse and even with glasses I could no longer cross-stitch. I had all but given up on my hobby for the last 5 years. In desperation I decided to take a chance on the OttLite 3-in-1 Craft Lamp and to my utter amazement and joy I am back to stitching. The combination of light and magnification has brought my hobby back to me and I couldn't be more thrilled. The only change I would make to this lamp is to make the magnifier have a slightly longer arm so I can more easily position it directly in the middle of my body while I sit in my big comfy armchair to stitch.
I had three-in-1 lamp sitting in the box for a few months before we finally set it up. It was set up as a floor lamp with the magnifying light. It works great! The base was much heavier than I expected, which works well to keep the lamp stable. I was darning socks and could angle the magnifying light to where ever I needed it while sitting on the couch. I already have a clamp on Ott light that I have used on my treadle sewing machine table for almost 3 decades. That is why I stayed with Ott for this 3-in-1 light.
How do I make it into a table lamp? Love this lamp
I would recommend this to a friend!

Thanks so much for reviewing your new OttLite lamp. Just emailed the instructions to you. If you have any questions, please email our customer service team at custserv@ottlite.com. Thank you!!
I’ve owned two of these lights to work my cross stitch and both have broken at the end of the flex on the magnifier light. Seems to be a weak point. It’s a good product but flawed. Looking for repair or a replacement
