Let’s get on with today’s pick.
Day 4: A Battery-Operated Light
Have you ever been at a crop and found it just a bit too dark? Perhaps you need a little extra light on something you’re working on at home. In either instance, can’t you imagine the convenience of a light that doesn’t have to be plugged in?
I have an electric Ott light at home. Ott is a brand name for those that aren’t familiar with it. It’s not something I bring to crops simply because it’s usually not convenient to plug in.
But recently I saw one of “my” scrapbook gals with a battery-operated light–and I immediately thought, “Wow!”
That light is perfect for a place like the IOOF Hall where I hold many of my crops (like the Pajama Crop coming up January 12-14! Message me for details!).
The IOOF Hall is a great hall with lots of space but unfortunately it doesn’t have a lot of electrical outlets. In fact, outlets here are almost non-existent! I’m not a fan of having extension cords running along the floor where people could trip. So, seeing a cordless light–like I said; “Wow!”
Of course, I immediately checked my supplier and I found a couple of options. So here they are:
First up; that cordless Ott Light. It is a little pricey at $85 but I like the fact that it’s got a rechargeable battery AND an AC adapter.
The second light is a new product. It’s an LED light, also rechargeable, by USB or wall adapter. And the price is much lower at $42. I’m not entirely sure I’d like the glaring little bulb on this one though so I’m sticking with the Ott light.
But either way, I think a cordless rechargeable light would be a great investment. I like good lighting and really like the Ott light I have. Cordless would make it so much handier.
So what do you think? Would you like a rechargeable light? Or do you have one? Can you suggest another brand? How important is lighting to you when you’re crafting?
