OttLite Giveaway! The future is now!

OTT2sm

I’m super excited that OttLite contacted me and offered to send me a new desk lamp to review AND giveaway! This is the LED Desk Lamp with Color Changing Tunnel and USB. I have an older model that was gifted to me years ago, but this new one has some really neat bells and whistles! I’d actually been using an old ugly black desk lamp from Target on my craft table. Back when my craft room was in my spare bedroom, and the walls were yellow, it was really hard for me to get enough light on my work to see true colors. I would complain that I couldn’t tell my yellow pompoms from my light green pompoms!

Sorry ahead of time that these aren’t the most amazing and beautifully styled photos. My work table is pretty boring, but I wanted to show you where I’m actually using my light in real life. This is where I pack and ship orders, and also where I glue pompoms to stuff, hot glue things to other things, sew beads to hair pieces… all my non-crochet work. My OttLite makes an amazing difference, and I wouldn’t just say that! Since it’s LED, it’s energy efficient and will last a long time. At first I was a bit afraid that the lamp’s modern look would feel really strange in my space. When it arrived, I was like, this looks like an alien out of Prometheus. You know, the baby one that bashes in that one guy’s space helmet. But I think that the white color helps it feel more comfy, and now I love it. Actually, I kinda wanna glue tiny plastic figurines to the top of it, but we’ll see what happens. The neck of the lamp is really bendy. You can bend it forward and also bend it side to side. I also used it to light my hands in the YouTube tutorial I’m about to upload. BUT HERE’S THE REALLY NEAT PART.

On the left side of the base is the power button and a button that says “M.” The M button controls the temperature of the light, so you can have really cool light, or a warmer light, or a mix of both. SO RAD.

On the right side of the base are some arrow buttons. These control the strength of the light. There are 4 different strength settings. And that rainbow strip in the center? That controls the color-changing tunnel!!! IT’S CRAFTY PARTY TIME. You can slide your finger along the rainbow strip to choose one color of light, or, if you hold down the green power button, the colors will start to automatically cycle. (I have no idea why all my photos captured the purple cycle…!) There’s also a USB port in the back that I didn’t get a photo of but you can charge up your phone while you work and listen to some tunes!

I made a dinky video to show you all of this in action.

The giveaway winner will receive the exact same light as mine in the white color. Giveaway is open to the United States and Canada (except Quebec). This has to do with voltage requirements, although in general, OttLites are available around the world. Just not for this giveaway. Giveaway will run until Friday, May 13th at midnight PDT. Winner must be 18 or over and must also respond to my email within 24 hours or I will choose a new winner. Winner will be chosen randomly via Rafflecopter/Random.org. Please make sure that twinkie@twinkiechan.com will get through your spam filters. Just use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter. No giveaway accounts please! A giveaway account is a social media account that you use only to post about giveaways. Good luck!

    If I won this lamp I would be able to put it on my craft table for my drawings, painting, and other crafting that I need this lamp desperately for. What a great giveaway.

  • I bought a cross stitch kit at MWCC that says “Don’t let anyone steal your sparkle.” I think that would be the first project because it has sequins and lots of small parts and the sparkles remind me of Twinkie 🙂

  • K

    says:

    I could definitely use this to jumpstart my progress on all of my half-finished cross-stitch projects! I’m working on a couple of coffee-themed tea towels at the moment.

  • I have the pink, foldable OTTLite which I use for doing nails. Gosh it’s good. I think if I ever need to upgrade though, I might try one like this because it looks so cool!

    Good luck to those entering the competition!

  • Martha Avans

    says:

    If I won, my first project would be a crocheted project that uses black yarn… so hard to work with, without a good light. So I would put the light to the test for thing. 🙂

  • Rebekah

    says:

    I am starting the cute donut poof from your new book for my daughter. The lamp would make my desk wayyy cuter! I’m going to pick up yarn for it today. Yay for yarn on sale! (Like I *need* any more yarn…or projects:)

    My first project will be a sweater for my first grandbaby who is due this December – and of course I’ll be cross stitching a birth sampler for the nursery!

  • Jasmine D

    says:

    I love my desktop OttLite, but the one I have kinda has a tripod like base that isn’t as stable as I’d like. I always have to be careful not to knock it over. This one looks sooo much better than the one I have!

    I hope I win, but if not I might just have to splurge and buy one for myself!

  • ashley k

    says:

  • CORLIS HUITT

    says:

    The first project I’d finish is the Women of the Bible Quilt Blocks that I need to get done. We are raffling off the finished quilt to donate to the Glory Bound Church of Marlow who graciously let our Quilting Group use their facilities for our meetings. I have an old one on a floor stand. It has lost it’s cover over the bulbs and is NO WHERE NEAR AS EXCITING as the one TWINKIE CHAN was demonstrating!! My 2 passions are Quilting and Genealogy, both of which require good, clear light to “get it right”. Hey, that could be a new slogan, “Get it Right with Ott Light!”

  • Teresa Fuhrmeister

    says:

    I would love one of these. I am gettin older and finding that my lighting for my artwork is not sufficient anymore.

  • Lesley

    says:

    I found you on Creative Bug!! I so love how you teach and your patterns. i am a brand new crocheter….just taught myself about two months ago and am now addicted to crocheting stuffed animal toys. I have completed your sloth and am about to make your unicorn. YOU ROCK. I would love to win the OTTLite.

    • TwinkieChan

      says:

      I’m so glad you like my Creativebug videos! 🙂 Thank you for the feedback!

    The 2 African Flower Motif baby blankets I need to make!

  • Valarie M

    says:

    I would love this lamp this looks like a futuristic party light. Very cool I’d use it while beading or doing crafts and even reading a book. I would have fun with this lamp for sure. I’m always needing more light.

  • Carrie Clifford Bishop

    First, I would make a crochet bookmark. It’s made of thin crochet thread and I need a really good light to be able to see what I am doing.

  • Darcy Johnson

    says:

    Oh I need this for my dark little corner of the living room to work in!

  • Victoria

    says:

    I have been putting off finishing some bracelets because the light is not bright enough in the area I use in the evening for that part of the process. I will be stitching buttons, doing a bit of embroidery and trimming the loose ends with this light.

  • Amanda P

    says:

    If I won the ottlite I would start on a blanket for my mom with the bernat home bundle yarn from Joanns. 🙂

  • Carol Rupprecht

    says:

    My first project with this light would be something black! Just to test out how well it helps you see your stitches 🙂

  • Marcia McGuire

    says:

    Hi Twinkie ! Oh… I have been wanting to purchase an Ottlite – just got interested in cross stitching – with the Ottlite – SOOOOOO much easier for the smaller, lovelier hand dyed fabrics – without the lite…. not possible ! Thank you for the opportunity. Sincerely, Marcia

  • Elsa L.

    says:

    I’ll be working on a bikini top pattern. Just 2 more different sizes and I’ll be finished. Hope I win!
