Does anyone have them? Which is best, table model or floor model? How long do the litebulbs last? Are the litebulbs interchangeable with these fancy new swirly ones? Do you have to have the OTT LITEBULBS?

I see Joanns has theirs at half off. Are they worth the $$$.

Thanx everyone.

I have both a table model and a floor model. Wouldn't be without them. I can't say how long the bulbs last as I have yet to replace either of them and I've had them for over a year now. They are worth the money in my opinion. :)

I agree, I have a table top one and it is superb. I have had mine for about 2 years now and still with the original bulb.

My table one is about three years old and on the original bulb. I am sensitive to lack of light in winter, and it seems to make a difference.

Hi,

I have an OTT light and the bulb has lasted for over a year now, it's a table model that folds over to close.
However, I also bought a table and a floor model of a daylight/natural light type lamp that aren't OTT lights...they work super. I got both for less than one OTT light on sale. I bought mine at Shopko, which is a discount retail store like a Target or Walmart...they do have them at both of them, too. Check them out, same type of light and I love mine.

Thank you for your help. I have kind-of researched them & several people have had problems with them shorting out, bulbs going out and a few other problems.

Just wondered.

I bought 2 OTT table lamps and did not feel they gave good light. One burned out and it was the dickens to get the bulb out. Actually, DH broke the bulb trying to remove it. I read somewhere that you have to phone the company to learn how to properly remove the bulb. Is that true????

Big Lots advertised the Full Spectrum lights. They are much cheaper and the bulbs were stronger and give a clear white light. The floor model lamps come with an extra free bulb that ordinarily would cost $9.99.

I also saw that JoAnn was closing out this product and I am wondering if a person will be able to buy the bulbs without ordering from the company.

I have both a table and a floor model- they advertise the bulbs will last 10,000 hours. They are fabulous. I even use mine for reading...and tweezing those pesky hairs that show up on the ...ahem...face. lol. if you do decide on an OTT lamp, they are often on sale for 40 to 50% off. No way would I pay full price for one- toooooo expensive.

My table top flip close Ott lamo is over 10 years old and still on the same bulb! I thing you have to very sure it is an original Ott light. They are expensive, this small table top one was about $60 on sale. So that's six dollars a year and still going strong.
It has a handle so it's easy to carry and use anywhere. The bulb for Ott lamps are about $30.
