Ott-Light Learning Light
I read some st
udies claiming natural light improves grades and helps children to read for longer periods of time. My son wasn’t the quickest learner and it’s hard to keep his attention focused on his school work. I was browsing the internet and found The Learning Light at www.thelitesource.com. I decided to order it and have been so pleased with the results. My son does his homework without complaints now. He says The Learning Light doesn’t smell like it is going to cause a fire which sounds funny but he is always concerned about that when lamps get too hot. The Learning Light doesn’t produce heat but is still very bright. It doesn’t have a glare because it uses natural illumination. This makes it easy to read under for long periods of time. My son’s light is red and has become a favorite accessory of his while doing homework because all of his favorite race cars are the same cherry color. It is light in weight and portable. We love it because it folds up and his teacher lets up put it in his backpack and bring it to class. His teacher was telling us the other kids seem to enjoy it too. She wants to buy a couple to put around the classroom for their reading session. A study done by an engineer in North Carolina reported libraries with natural lighting have lower noise levels. The study also stated natural lighting induces positive moods making the light a batter choice for learning environments.

Ott-Lite Sanibel Table lamp
Lamps can be a crucial part of the decorating process. The prefect paint, curtains, throw pillows and designer love seat are not going to be complete without the perfect lighting to show them off. When choosing a lamp for this purpose, it is important to keep a few things in mind. First of all, the appropriate lamp will be one that isn’t harmful to fabrics or furniture meaning the light will not cause colors to fade over time. Secondly, colors and detail are the main focus here so a lamp that increases these features is best. It is also important that the lamp be functional allowing guests and family members to get the best out of it and be comfortable. Finally, style is still the purpose of the accessory itself so the lamp will should include all of the above while remaining fashionable. The Sanibel Table Lamp is the one I chose for my office, guest bedroom and living room. It produces natural light resembling daylight which is healthier for human eyes and better for shining on furniture. Natural light is made with modern technology and makes colors specifically more outstanding than regular every day light bulbs. The Sanibel Table Lamp takes a 25watt Plug in Swirl. Remember, lower watts means less energy used, not the amount of light produced. This lamp produces very bright light showing off all of my best decorating. It has a swinging arm allowing the light to be shown at any piece of furniture desired. This light is absolutely perfect because it is completely functional and versatile with its ability to easily adjust as well as reduce eye strain. Reading beneath it for long periods of time is so comfortable so it is a great bedside accessory or desk lamp for the office. The Sanibel Lamp caught my attention because it is gorgeous and professional looking. The Base is bronze and has a great European, modern appeal with small stair like features leading to a crisp white linen shade. It looks great in any room.

Ott-Lite Plant Growth Lamp review

I found a light vital to anyone who takes interest in growing indoor plants. The Plant Growth Lamp can speed up any plant growth indoors. I did an experiment and bought about ten plants. I took five of them and used the Ott-Lite Plant Growth Lamp to help them flourish. The other five had the typical translucent light working in their favor. I used the same nutrients and routine on all of my plants, spending equal amounts of time on each of them. The results were almost shocking. The regular lamp I had been using took nearly twice the amount of time to reach full growth opposed to the Plant Growth lamp which had drastic results in a minimal amount of time. The results were astonishing and I wanted proof for myself but at the same time, the results I received were just as expected. The reasoning is simple. Ott-Lite bulbs produce natural light giving off the illusion of outdoor sunlight. The natural light is healthier for plants and is exactly what they need. The 13 watt replacement tube is the bulb used and it doesn’t give off heat. Since it doesn’t get hot, it won’t dry out the soil allowing my plants to stay completely nourished. The bulb lasts up to 10,000 hours so I can’t imagine having to replace it any time soon. The lamp itself is portable and can fold in half so it is easy to store. The best thing about this lamp is it is eco-friendly. The 13 watt bulb uses very little energy so I feel happy to say I’m participating in the Go Green fad with this purchase.

Ott-Lite Organizer Desk Lamp

- versatile lamp with built in business card holder and pen/pencil storage
Sitting at the same desk day after day can be boring. Sometimes it’s hard to stay motivated. At the end of each week day I used to leave my desk and see mounds of work accumulated. I decided I needed to attempt to create a new surrounding for myself. I did a few things to help reduce my stress at work and increase my energy levels. First I got organized. I started cleaning my desk each night before I went home so I had a fresh start each morning. I bought The Organizer Desk Lamp at thelitesource.com. The lamp has a place for me to put my business cards as well as pens and pencils. In addition, it is great for my office because it uses a 13watt Ottlite tube which means the bulb last up to 10,000 hours but most importantly, it produces natural light. The natural light makes it easy to read for longer amounts of time while keeping energy levels up and reducing eye strain. It has low glare and low heat. I have left it on over night and it still wasn’t hot the next morning. After selecting a light that helps me relax and have more energy, I decided I would do a few other things to boost my energy levels and keep me calm. I started drinking tea for a natural boost. I noticed little things improved my psychological views at work making my desk more appealing. I purchased a plant simply because I thought it would brighten the area. Plants clean pollutants in the air, making the office more inviting. While I was at www.thelitesource.com, I conveniently came across the Plant Growth Lamp and found myself buying it on an impulse. It is also in my office. It looks great and can easily be folded up if I decide to put it away. Finally, I found a relaxing radio station and started listening to it everyday.

Ott-Lite Floor lamp

Painting is one of my favorite ways to pass time. I’m really into oil painting right now and found it difficult to see my paints, photographs I was imitating and even details on my own canvas. Lighting has to be perfect when painting. I was not about to haul my isle, paints, brushes, canvas and everything else around the local weatherman’s schedule with intentions of a clear day and perfect sunlight.
Thankfully, I discovered the Ott-Lite Floor Lamp which eliminated all my stress. I could stand anywhere in my room and have the most technologically savvy light shine easily in any direction I wanted. The flexible neck of the lamp makes it simple to adjust light angles and the height of the lamp. The structure is tall and narrow but the base is heavy leaving the lamp well balanced.
The Ott-Lite Floor Lamp is designed with low heat and glare reduction. It makes it comfortable to stand or sit under for long periods of time. Now I can see my artwork in much greater detail. The natural illuminating light really allows me to see colors in amazing detail and my oils are able to come to life.
The lamp only comes in grey which is not the nicest color but it is definitely a versatile color so it makes it easy to blend into any room. The bulb is easily replaced and can be found at thelitesource.com. I can give up a little bit of style in a lamp for light that lasts up to 10,000 hours.
