Review on 13 Watt OttLite Replacement Bulb - OttLite T13330 by Paula Brown

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Works with old compact fluorescent lamps

After 8-9 years of owning my old Ott-Lite table lamp the bulb finally burned out. Not wanting to just look for another lamp (most modern offerings aren't that great for my drafting table), I did a little research to find no guarantees that it would actually work. In fact, I seem to have found places that said "this lamp should work" and "lamps no longer made for these old lamps". There was no model number printed anywhere on the lamp, at least I couldn't find it. Well, it's better than the $30 Michael wanted for the lightbulb, and it looks something like that, so I might as well try. Light bulb turned on and it worked great! Aside from some flickering when switched on, which used to be fairly typical, it just stays on and delivers good light. And what's even better, I didn't have to change the lamp entirely. So if you have one of those old flex arm lamps with a rotating shade, if it looks like the right lamp, it's probably the right lamp. Hope this helps someone.

Pros
  • OTTLITE-TrueColor replacement bulb
Cons
  • faded
