My wife was eyeing the Ott lights for quilting, and they can get expensive...!
I was always told that you should light your work area as you light the layout. That way, there are no magical transformations of paint colour or weathering when the project moves from the bench to the layout....
So if you use daylight-spectrum (or have a window) then the Ott would be a good worklight. If however, the layout is lit by fluorescent tubes, you're better off with a fluorescent work light too.
