💡 Philips 34500 9 Twin Tube Compact Fluorescent: High-Performance Lighting Solution for Energy Efficiency Review

If you are used to reading or working under Ott's light, this will NOT cut! The color is rather yellowish and the intensity and spread are not that great. I often combine colors in my work and that definitely wouldn't work for me; So I put it in a lamp in my workshop and will get used to the light it gives me. However, if you're just looking for a basic replacement, this is good value for money. Just don't rely on it to replace your Ott.

I bought this to replace the original in my inventory of OttLight as I thought it had completely burned out.

I went back to my original lightbulb as it still works but left it for the day it finally fails or I end up with another light that will last.

This bulb replaces a blown bulb in my OttLite floor lamp. OttLite was charging $25 for a similar type of bulb, and this light was around $8.50 on Prime. Even with the photos it was difficult to determine exact dimensions and although both are 18 watts my Ott part number was 9525 which does not match any Phillips part number and I have a 2000 discontinued lamp and the number bulbs on current models. do not correlate to the 9525. I measured the base, the bulb and the pins that go into the bulb…
