I love my Ott lamps but as they die (and they do) I have replaced them with the LED lamps from IKEA. I am fortunate that I have an IKEA in the area. When my first Ott died it was rather disappointing because the cost is fairly high (compared to the ones at IKEA.) There are some wonderful floor desk lamps that are also very expensive. It's my understanding they have fuses - but I didn't pursue it.
