What ever came of those tall "halogen" lamps? Probably can't buy bulbs for them now.

Oh well, we do things like that for our children. I sure wouldn't want her to go blind because I took my lamp back..LOL

Time to buy her one for her birthday. Maybe she would get the hint that you would like yours back. Or better yet suggest that as a gift you would like. K

I have an Ott-lite floor lamp that I just love. Haven't had to change the bulb yet.

I buy the ott light bulbs with a regular bulb base and they work great in my floor light that I picked up that some one set out by our dumpster. Nothing wrong with the lamp just needed a new bulb so I decided to try the ott light bulb. IT IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Oh my, I sure do need one of these. Do the Ott Lights give off heat like a regular incandescent bulb?

No - they can only be used in ott lights

Not necessarly, I bought a swing arm lamp for my sewing room. I went to Lowe's and bought an ott bulb and put it in my swing arm and it fit.
