i know this was discussed a while back, but i don't know what the upshot was:
who owns an ott lamp
who loves it
who hates it
who has trouble getting bulbs
who has a wannabe
i'm thinking of getting one. are they any good? are there other brands just as good? do they last? do they get hot?

Mine is the small clip-on one, Bulbs are available anywhere here, but the lamps are (or were) made in Tampa, so maybe that is why. Try the search feature above - there was a long topic about them a while back, and some swore by the generics.

I have 2 of them. A stand up floor one and a clip on. Got them both from Joanns for 1/2 price PLUS free shipping!
Have had them since 2004 and haven't had to replace the bulbs yet and they made the move from HI to Guam in one piece!

I have several and I use them all the time. I used my coupons and got most of them from JoAnn's. First one I use is a flip up one right near my machine. My Machine has an ott light built in as well.
I use my stand light all the time for close hand work and reading. I for one love them. The bulbs seem to last forever!
