Guest Report post Posted July 2, 2005 My wife dragged me shopping today because she doesn't like to drive in the rain. We went to Joann Fabrics because the wife had a 40% off coupon and she had to pick a few things up. Well it turns out she didn't get anything but I picked up an Ott light for less than $60. It's the small 13 watt table top version with the 2x magnifier attached. They also had some decent Reeves Pheasant breast feathers for like a $1.50 The wife tells me that they have theses 40 and 50 percent off sales all of the time. So if anyone is looking for a light for their bench,keep a look out for one of theses coupons. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Report post Posted July 6, 2005 Or go to Staples and look at the Tensor (manufacturer) model - it doesn't come with the magnifier and might twist or turn like an Ott Lite but for either 30 or 40 bucks there are some allowable tradeoffs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
whippersnapper 0 Report post Posted July 25, 2005 Hello All, Being a regular at Jo-Ann's Fabrics (Stop Snickering! ) I can tell you that you have to *ask* to be put on their mailing list to receive the Jo-Ann's 40% off coupons in the mail. You can sign up at a Jo-Ann's store or online at Jo-Anns website: http://www.joann.com/ In fact, if you do online shopping at Jo-Ann's website, you can get a lot more 20-40% off coupons redeemable only online. Highly recommended... Today (7/24) they had a big 40% off sale online. Whaddya got to lose? Also, you can't go wrong with their 2mm foam sheets... 2 sq ft for $ .89! Good luck! Keep it deep, Whippersnapper Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peddler 0 Report post Posted December 9, 2005 I was in Michaels yesterday and they had a huge pack of large, foam sheets at $9.99! There looked to be about 12 sheets that seemed larger than 8-1/2 X 11" They had two sheets per color. Some of the colors were kinda bright, but the black (for ants and crickets) and yellow caught my eye. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gregg 0 Report post Posted February 27, 2006 The CHEAPEST solution for an "Ott" light is to add a 6500K bulb to any compact flourescent lamp you have. There is nothing special about the Ott light but a daylight bulb. You can even get daylight screw-in compact flourescent bulbs at Lowes and HD for a couple bucks add a $1 socket, and you have a $4 version of "Ott" lighting. If you want to get fancy with it, you can add a daylight screw bulb to a $9 adjustable desk lamp from walmart and you are set, save a fortune. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
