Outdoor daylight comes inside

There's more to proper indoor lighting than meets the eye. John Ott, who helped perfect time-lapse photography for Walt Disney, is the mastermind behind the Ott-Lite VisionSave Captiva Collection from Ott-Lite, Tampa, Fla, which can help reduce the glare that can cause eyestrain--while allowing you to see details more clearly. These lighting devices improve clarity and visual acuity by diminishing distortion with the simulation of natural daylight. They also are beautifully designed and look stylish with any decor thanks to their classic finishes like antique brushed nickel and mocha pearl. The low-heat lightbulbs last up to 10,000 hours, or 10 times the life of a standard incandescent bulb.

Available in 13- and 18-watt, the floor ($350), table ($230), and desk ($170) lamps have proven to be indispensable favorites. Replacement bulbs run $30.

Ott-Lite products are available at fine retailers, by phone (800-842-8848), or online (www.ott-lite.com).
