We have three, no four Ott lights in teh house. DH just bought one on sale from JA's with free shipping for his desk when doing his homework. Loves it and I have my floor one back for sewing.
I have never used the Ott bulbs in other lights in the house. Too expensive. HOwever, I have had my floor light for over 15 years and have only replaced teh bulb once which was last summer. I don't like the Daylight or other lights that imitate Ott's. I don't believe they are anywhere near the same.
Pay the price and you will not be sorry.

i use daylight fluorescent bulbs from home depot in all the rooms of my house . Made a big difference this winter for lighting. See much better. Bought 100 ones for sewing room didn't have any problems . Could actually see good.

Yes they are. I have two of them, one floor model and the other sits on top of my sewing table for times when I am sewing on black or very dark material. Easy on the eyes.
I bought mine when they were 50% off.

I've had some experience with Ott lights - bought a big one half price at Joanne's years ago. (Still spent almost $90!!) It worked for just over a year - then one day, it just quit! I tried replacing the bulb, tried replacing the electrical part on the cord - nothing. I wouldn't buy another one.
There are lights that do the exact same thing MUCH cheaper elsewhere. I got one at Big Lots for $19.99 or $29.99 a few months ago, and it's great for sewing on black fabric with black thread!! JMHO, but find a cheaper one than OTT.
