Reduce your eyestrain and increase your visual comfort with this OttLite Soft Touch Desk Lamp. With three lighting settings and a flexible neck, this lamp is the perfect addition to your desk or side table. Dr. John Nash Ott started it all! In 1989 Dr. Ott founded OttLite Technologies to bring the power of natural daylight indoors through his one-of-a-kind natural daylight bulb. A photobiologist and pioneer in natural light research, Dr. Ott discovered through 40 years of scientific research the remarkable effects specific wavelengths of light have on all living things. Known as the father of full-spectrum lighting, his research concluded that, a light, with the entire visible spectrum of light wavelengths, was best for vision and well being. This led to the development of the first sunlight lamp.
