look for much less expensive lighting fixture at Lowe's (maybe Home Depot too) than the Ott light fixture

Does anyone know how long these bulbs last? They are just so expensive if I'm going to have to replace them alot.

I have some Ott lights I bought at JoAnns. I have to be honest...I'm not all that impressed. The stand light I have is supposed to be a stand on the floor model...it's so short that i have to have it sitting on a box to get it high enough! I'm also not all that happy with the lighting of the Ott. If I were you, I'd buy one of each, take them home and try them and take the one back you don't like. It's so hard to tell in the store!

I'm not familiar w/ Naturalight. I have 2 Ottlites. One is a table style that sits behind my sewing machine, but I can adjust it to wherever I want it - to see to sew or to shine on my design wall that hangs over the closet behind my sewing table. The other one is a floor lamp style that shines over my ironing table/board. I love them both. I'm still on the first bulb for both, and I've had them over 10 yrs.

I have two Ott lights, one on a stand and one small that I take with me where ever I go with a project. I bought both of my lights at Tuesday Morning at a great price. I also have a non-Ott and I think it works very well.

OTT lighting is great. I have a floor model by my machine and a portable one.

I use the opti light as well but use the daylight bulbs in the celing fan, not quite the same..... Now those opti lights are even at wally world (or what they call Daylight Lamps). Replacement bulbs can be found at Home Depot, or Lowes, or office supply places, or even cheaper on the net. They sure do help with depression--or complete bordem.. it adjust your attitude somewhat...When I purchased mine they were not cheap, so I keep them in the Sewing and puter room.

I have an Ott light and like it. And the bulbs last and last.

I have an Ott light and love it, I've never tried the other brand.
