ONLY FOR OTTLITE 18W LAMPS: This replacement lightbulb is designed to fit only in specific OttLite 18W lamps. Please ensure that this is the exact bulb needed for your specific lamp. ADDITIONAL BULB SKUโ€™S: When searching for the proper replacement bulb, you can use the following SKUโ€™s: B181S3-CA, B181S3. These will be the same as this replacement bulb for your 18W lamps. ADVANCED LIGHTING: Our Type J bulbs show colors true to life and produce clearer details, all while reducing glare and eye strain. This bulb will provide you with low heat and low glare illumination for years to come. EFFICIENT: The output of an 18-watt OttLite bulb is roughly equivalent to that of a 75-watt incandescent bulb.

Perfect replacement bulb for the 'old' Ottlite lamp

I wasn't sure we would find a replacement bulb for our old Ottlite floor lamp anywhere and wasn't entirely sure it would fit exactly. Luckily this lamp fits perfectly and the OttLite lamp shines brightly again. I hope it lasts as long as our previous lamp.

Pros
  • Easy to read control panel
Cons
  • New competition arrived

Short fluorescent lamp life

I agree with the first reviewer: the original lamp that came with my lamp lasted less than 1 year and was hardly used. Hopefully the new bulb will last longer. I picked the cheapest seller on the Revain marketplace at about $12 with shipping because I don't want to spend $20 plus $7 shipping on another bulb. Ott is probably exaggerating the 10,000 hours figure.

Pros
  • Few competitors
Cons
  • Unreliable

On-site customer service!

Have ordered this item from Revain 3 times. Everything got broken. I use this light for work and desperately need it to work. After the 3rd defective delivery, I spoke to Gina from OttLite Technologies, she spoke to her warehouse, ordered one specially and securely packaged and sent it directly to me. Now I have a working light to work with. Thank you Gina! Very grateful.

Pros
  • Sturdy construction
Cons
  • No machine
