My Ott light stopped working, contacted the company, they said it sounded like the Ballest (sp) may be bad. My question is do I pay the 30.00$ to get a new one or, cut my losses and and buy a new one, Mine is about 10 years old. I have to find a friend to check the ballest to see if thats it, Dont have a clue what the ballest is

You can get daylight lamps at Wal Mart on line that are good, and they have the bulbs for $6-7 and both desk and floor lamps are available. I would not pay the prices I have seen charged some places for Ott light. Also Home Depot and Lowes on line have daylight lamps.

I had an Ott light go bad on me. It probably did not have 30 hours on it. I bought another one and one for the living room at Lowe's. We bought a small vacation home and I did not want to buy Otts for a vacation home. I found some lights at Big Lots that look like Otts and were $29. I cannot tell the difference side by side in the actual light. We have them all over both houses now.

Got a table model task lamp at Home Depot several years ago and have had no issues, nor had to replace the bulb. Cost was $19.99. Have a clamp on swing light with magnifying lens for $3.00 at a country auction, that I love for handwork, especially hand quilting.
