What it is

Summary

AI-generated from vendor-published content · October 1, 2026

This folding task lamp puts a steady, low-glare light right over your work, which helps when reading, sewing, crafting, or working on small parts is hard on the eyes. The shade moves to several positions so you can aim the light where you need it, and the lamp's height adjusts from about 11 to 17.5 inches. It comes with its OttLite 508 bulb already included, has a carry handle for moving it between rooms, and plugs into a standard 120V wall outlet. It's a good fit for someone who finds ordinary room lighting too dim or too harsh for close-up tasks. It makes the light better, but it doesn't magnify anything.
