Ott Light Bulbs

Wondering if an Ott bulb can be used in a standard lighting fixture, such as a desk arm lamp. Any experiences with that?

Yes they can I use one in my goose neck lamp. Make sure it is the screw in bulb and not a plug in type.

It depends upon the way that the bulb attaches to the lamp.

Some of the Ott lights and bulbs are proprietary - a lamp will take only an Ott brand bulb and an Ott brand bulb will fit only into an Ott lamp. Same with The Daylight Company lamps - I have one that they are no longer making bulbs for so when this one burns out, the lamp is gone, too.
