I sure wished I would have known this before I purchased two Ott lamps! I'm going to spread the word with my quilting friends. Thanks for sharing!!

Thanks a bunch!! I want one, DH said get one but that sure is a lot when I already have a lamp I love. I will get a bulb now next time I'm out.

Yes, I have tried them in a regular lamp. They are great. I noticed Home Depot is carrying some of the bulbs now. whoohoo!!

Thanks - what great information to pass on. I did buy the small portable lamp.
I use it when hand quilting in our room when watching TV. Having a light just focused on my lap doesn't bother others in the room.
I'm am going to look into bulb just for my spring/clamp on lamp at sewing machine.

Well, it seemed they were about same as Joann's, so if you have a Joann's coupon, I think they would offer at same price. I wouldnt buy one without a coupon. Really they are overpriced. but they work very well.

Me too! I've only seen them with the little prongs (that are hard for me to plug in).

No the bigger ones, floors lamps and some of the others have a normal twist in base on the bulbs. Ive tried it. Its great.

Great to know! Husband was just asking me about this last night. I just got one of the portable OTTlites using a gift card & sale price of $29.99. He was asking what the big deal was about the lamp & why I didn't just buy a bulb. lol Now I can buy just the bulbs for the other lamps in my sewing studio.
