OttLite Battery-Operated LED Mobile Task Lamp, Black

This works great for travel (embroidery meetings, seminars etc) I use a different one for home use. I am replacing the same light that I’ve had for several years. The old one only works now when opened to a certain angle. Must be the inside wiring. I use an AC adapter. Hopefully this one will accept the same. There is a small opening but no where does the description state the possibility. This lamp eats batteries. It only lasts a short time using 3 AAA. I use my lamp at stitching outings and would take at least 6 extra batteries in my stitching bag. We purchased the ac adapter & insert at Radio Shack. Not sure where you would do it now.

I purchased this Ottlite to use specifically while crafting. I love using it, especially when weeding vinyl projects. It’s also the perfect size to move around your desk or from room to room. It’s very bright and so useful. My first Ottlite (same as this one), was durable and lasted for years. I expect the same from this one. I definitely recommend it to anyone.

As a quilter, I bought this light to take in my suit case traveling. It’s light and very portable. 3 AAA batteries last, at their best brightness, about 3-4 hours, then it dims. Very disappointed in how long the batteries last. Otherwise it’s a useful tool.

I needed a light for a crafting event on a Caribbean cruise in February 2025. This light was perfect! It takes AAA batteries that doesn't come with it, no problem. I used the case it was packaged in to keep it from being damaged in my checked luggage. The hardest part was cutting into the surrounding plastic. Once opened, insert the batteries and easy to use. Just lift the light and it comes on. Sleek looking. Now I can have an extra light wherever I need, very versatile and light weight. Take extra batteries just in case. Love it!! No more cords!!

This light, when new, provides the expected OttLite quality of light. Not terribly bright, but I used it for reading in bed, and it was adequate. The only problem I had was that the batteries came loose very easily; not a big deal. Here's the catch: This light has a two-year warranty. I've had two now, and both have quit working not long after the warranty expired. In both cases, the light started behaving as though there were a loose or damaged wire - I could only flip it open just so far, and certain positions just didn't work at all. I got brave and opened this one up. The wires running from the body, where the batteries are located, to the lights, runs through the joint where the light opens and closes. At that point, the actual wires are enclosed in a thin rubber tube, I'm guessing to protect them, but that tube had been damaged at the narrowest point of the joint. I'm guessing the wires inside were also damaged, but I didn't go that far. Bottom line, this light is poorly designed from the standpoint of the protection of the internal wiring, and is doomed to fail. Purchase cautiously.

I really had high hopes for this Ott Portable light. I have used it twice now. The first time with three brand new batteries the light was good for 2 hours and then dimmed quickly to the point of it being useless. I bought rechargeable batteries and tried those. One hour and a half - and again the light dimmed to uselessness. This is unacceptable. I have purchased and use other Ott Lights and based in my experience I expected better from this brand. I am so very dissatisfied with this purchase. Don’t buy it!

This is the third one I have ordered for my nearly blind mother. It is perfect, and absolutely indispensable, when she goes to a restaurant, unless midday and she sits right in a window. The easy portability and quality of the light are both really wonderful. We have progressed now to using two to light her meal enough that she can see a tiny bit in always too dark restaurants.

I am a crafter and painter and sometimes I need more light. This light throws strong light in a small area and it's just what I need. It's very light weight and easy to move. I'm sure it will be great when the electricty is out as well. I have read other reviews that said that batteries don't last that long. I use the light in short bursts, an hour at a time and have not yet needed to change batteries. Perhaps if it was my only light I might have a different experience.

excelente producto para la toma de color en odontologia, la temperatura de la luz es la ideal, lo recomiendo ampliamente

This provides good light for small projects, especially when working at a table. Portable, no need to plug in. Have yet to see how long the batteries last, but, for temporary additional lighting for close work, this works well.

This portable lamp is easier to see with & you can tell the light is different from regular lamps. I have to use it longer to tell how long batteries will last but I will purchase another one of this lamp.

Muy útil para odontologos

Cumple su función, aunque no estoy seguro que sea luz correctiva, almenos este modelo, da un tono cálido sobre las cosas. Como odontologo pensaba en ella para toma de color. Pero los leds amarillos dan otro efecto
