Anyone have Daylight Ultimate Lamp?

I need a good lamp to stitch in the evenings. Does anyone have this lamp? Is
it better than Ott or Veri ?
Any good alternatives to buying a $250 floor lamp (lack of space requires
me to purchase only a floor lamp)!
Would appreciate your thoughts!.
Thanks!

Any good alternatives to buying a $250 floor lamp

I have a reading lamp on the wall over my stitching spot, with a Verilux bulb
in it. The lamp is positionable, so I can point it right at my stitching
(slightly outward), or re-direct it straight down if I'm curled up with a book.

Lamp fixture, $15. Verilux bulb, $8. Nothing for the cats to knock over,
priceless.

Bulbs available from www.realgoods.com. Lamps available from your local
lighting store.

I have a gooseneck clamp-on lamp that's attached to the clip-light
attachment on my GripIt Deluxe floorstand. I have a Verilux bulb in
there. Before last year's "energy crisis" here in California, I had
the Verilux bulbs in all my bedroom and office-area lamps, but
replaced them with compact fluorescent bulbs. But I see that the
RealGoods that Karen posted sells the full-spectrum compact
fluorescents. YAY!! THANK YOU, Karen!!!!!!!!!

I have both the Daylight and Ott floor lamps. My preference is the Ott.
The color from the Ott light is better. Just my opinion.

I don't find that any of the lamps (Ott, Verilux, Daylight) provide me
with enough light to stitch by (and this is important because it's the
only light source.) From what I have read, the OVD lamps give you the
daylight bulb which lets you see colors better. This is not that
important to me however since I stitch from charts and everything is
numbered. I have a standard floor lamp with a 50/200/250 watt bulb.
That's what works for me.
