    I have two,one for pouring and one for tying. They are 13 watt ott-lite TRUECOLOR.I've been using them for over ten years and really like them. I bought mine off ebay for under $50 each. I don't know what the price of these are there but seen the exact model retail for over $100.

    I have no experience with these lights and the one I first bought (Made 2 Fly) and used until about a month ago went out of business. I actually thought it was pretty bright, but just a few weeks ago I have to order some Peak Vises and they had come out with a LED light that I had wanted to try. I have to say that thing is so much brighter than my other one that my old one has not been plugged in since.

    So I can't help with your question about that light, I can tell you I don't think there is a brighter light than the Peak LED. They are not cheap or low cost though so if you have a great deal on one I would probably give it a shot.

    Hey thought I would show you my old lamp and the new one. I took some pics of my tying station over time and just took one the other day showing my step down I got to make my vise lower to help my shoulder and it happens to show the new Peak Light.

    The Peak is not low cost for sure and I will look that up and PM you about it. I will say that one little LED is so much brighter than my other one it really surprised me. Like the flash strips I put on some is as bright as it looks outside. I use to know know how much flash I got from the until I was out fishing with them, but now I see it as I tie it.
