If you ever need to replace your Ott, you might consider Solux.



I've seen the Solux specs before and agree they look better than OTT

OTT, unfortunately, has a terrible reputation for reliability that I've just
never been able to get beyond, no matter how good the light it produces and
how much I want one.

Perhaps the Solux will prove to be a more robust design...

I looked at the websites, and I can't see what makes these "special"
(other than the price, although the Solux bulbs aren't so bad). The OTT
compact fluorescents seem about 4-5-6 times the price of standard "full
spectrum" bulbs, and I couldn't find anything on color temp, etc. About
all I could find was "buy this because we say so..."
