I have had 2 Ott lights. Both were purchased with coupons from JoAnn's. The first one lasted less than 90 days. They did replace it under warranty, but the replacement lasted just over a year. This has been awhile back, but after having 2 quit on me I was not going to buy another. I now use a floor lamp I got at Home Depot and I use a daylight florescent bulb in it. It works just fine and was a lot less money.
