 OTT LIGHT. THE BEST DAYLIGHT QUALITY CFLDec 28, 2010
By Lightning
I have bought at least a dozen of these bulbs. There are a lot of things to hate about most compact fluorescent bulbs (slow to start up, burn out in a short time,expensive) BUT the Ott light bulbs are great. We use them as reading and work lights; my wife loves them in her sewing room. I've never had one burn out and they start up at full brightness instantly.

Easy ReadingApr 10, 2011
By Susan
A friend recommended this type of light bulb. The light is very white and it took me a day or two to get used to the change. But it makes things very clear and easy to read.

I was blind, but, now I see.Jun 22, 2011
By Dorian
It is awesome how much clearer the written word becomes when using these bulbs. My wife and I can now read longer without the eye-strain our old "yellow" CFL bulbs caused.

I was blind...now I can see!Oct 05, 2011

These lamps are amazing. My home office is 12' X 12' with a 10' ceiling height. I have 5 recessed cans in the ceiling with these lamps installed. They are much cooler than the halogen PAR lamps that were previously installed. My office temperature is reduced by 5 degrees. Colors are more vivid, and reading text clearly at a farther distance is greatly improved. The overall results are more comfort and less eye strain.
 Not even close to a 100W incandescentFeb 04, 2012

I bought these lamps to replace the 100 watt incandescent bulbs in fixtures over bathroom vanities. The fixtures are arts and crafts style with frosted shades that are open at the bottom. We have had 100W bulbs in the fixtures since new and the light has been wonderful but decided to try the OttLite bulbs to save a little energy and for the natural style illumination. Previous experience with OttLite hobby lights has proved that the illumination is very close to daylight. Although the OttLite bulbs work in the fixture we will be replacing them with something else. Here are the pros and cons from our perspective.
Pros:
- Wonderful light color very close to daylight.
- Starts fast (but at low brightness level, maybe 50%)
Cons:
- Takes 3-4 minutes to reach full brightness
- Way too long for open shade fixtures. A standard 100W bulb is about 4" long but
these are around 5.5" long and stick out the bottom of our shades by a full 1.25"
- When the bulbs reach full brightness the portion of the bulb that sticks out the
shade is blindingly bright and you don't want to look at them
These may work well in a recessed ceiling can, or in a fixture with a large enclosed shade, but you will not want these in a location where you will have to look at the bare bulb for any length of time. It was really disappointing to find that they were so far outside the dimensional envelope of a standard bulb. It is equally disappointing that OttLite does not seem to publish the bulb dimensions, color temperature, or lumen output of these bulbs anywhere.
