I had an Ott light go bad on me. It probably did not have 30 hours on it. I bought another one and one for the living room at Lowe's. We bought a small vacation home and I did not want to buy Otts for a vacation home. I found some lights at Big Lots that look like Otts and were $29. I cannot tell the difference side by side in the actual light. We have them all over both houses now.
