    Hobby Lobby also sells Ott light replacement bulbs, though not a large selection. They have bi weekly coupons, at least one year ago they did. My bulb lasted many years, and I love the lamps. The two lights, a table top and a floor model, stays in Texas, my winter home, but I miss having one here. I would only consider buying them with a discount, have to love those bargains.

    I use GE's "reveal 100" regular bulbs in my work lamps. They are a full-spectrum bulb. Never used an OttLite, but think these must be similar because my mature eyes say Yesss! to these affordable babies.............which reminds me, must stock up on these before they're OUTLAWED in (is it?) 2012.

    I got my Ott floor lamp at a yard sale for $3...so if the bulbs are $40 I'm still ahead.

    I really like my Ott Lites and buy them and the replacement bulbs only when on sale or with a coupon. They make great gifts!

    Wouldn't a daylight simulating bulb in a floor or table top lamp work just as well.

    I have a floor model Ott light and use it all the time. The bulb is still going after 3 years! I was at a discount shop and bought a floor model with bulb of a different brand for $19.99. I thought I would end up with a piece of junk, but it has done the job for over a year now. Only problem, not nearly as attractive as my Ott light.

    I only use ottlites in the sewing room and now have two in the living room for when i read and do hand sewing. they are great for matching colors. coupons at joanns are good but also check your craft stores and joanns online. i got one for 60% off plus shipping which was nothing. also subscribe to ottlite.com. they send emails with specials.

    I love my Ott Lights! I have two floor models in my sewing room and a portable one that I take to sewing classes. I'm thinking about getting another floor model to place by my ironing board. I get them when they are on sale at JoAnn's.
    I have replaced only one bulb and that was when someone knocked my lamp off in a sewing class. I think I bought the replacement bulb at an office supply store. I've had one of the lamps for ten years.
