gramps50 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Just picked up a couple of Ottlite 13w Magnifier Task Lamps at JoAnn's Fabrics for $19.99 each. The magnifier doesn't seem of much use for me for tying flies but it flips up out of site so it's not a problem. I had been tying with 2 100w equivalent cfl bulbs and it was better with just the Ottlite on. Even the photos of the flies in the vice look better. I liked the light from the Ottlite so well I ordered a couple of the Ott 25w cfl's from Amazon to try.
gramps50 Posted January 29, 2015 Author Posted January 29, 2015 I need to stay off the internet, was cruising around last night and found an extended arm Ottlite and it was also on sale at JoAnn's so this morning I tripped out and bought one. Many more adjusting options than the Ottlite Task. The only issue now is I will need to rearrange the tying desk, can't get into the drawers very well now. That's okay as it's a work in progress....... The light also comes with a clamp then it will swivel, the desk doesn't have enough lip to use the clamp.
bs1827 Posted January 29, 2015 Posted January 29, 2015 Your tying desk sure looks a lot cleaner than mine right now! Proper lighting sure helps.

Trust me it won't when I really get into this. So far the Ottlite is much easier on the the eyes than the 2 CFL's 150w equiv. Even the photos I have taken have much more detail.
