Product Description

You'll need two 13W tubes if you bought the machine before 2008. In order to use an older lamp with a magnetic ballast (such as this one), you need the tube from before 2008. You will need the electronic ballast if the bulb was installed after 2008 and the tube or box has an E.
The Type A LED bulb produces true-to-life colors and produces clearer details, all while reducing eye strain and glare. With this bulb, you can put it to good use for years to come by providing low heat and low glare illumination.
OttLite bulbs have an equivalent output to a 60-watt incandescent light bulb that is roughly 13 watts. The energy consumption and heat generated by compact fluorescent bulbs (CFLs) are 75% less than incandescent bulbs, and they last 10x as long.
Since over 30 years, OttLite has invested in the distribution of natural daylight in homes and businesses. By using our breakthrough technology, you'll be able to see more clearly, do what you love for longer, and do more for less.

Several years ago, I purchased it and since then it has been stored in a drawer As of today (February 2021), it has been called up for service.

It was necessary to modify/file the bulb so that it fit the The OTL13MAG is a lightweight model
3/5

A few years ago, I purchased an OTT tape A handy magnifying glass is included with this lite. After much frustration, I had my handy husband examine my old and replacement bulbs before ordering a replacement. Initially, it looked like the replacement bulb would fit, but after much frustration, it didn't. (He checked his calipers for the differences in size between the old and new bulbs) While inserting the new ones in the lamps, he found a tiny difference in size between them. The new bulb fit easily into the lamp slots after he filed off the plastic points (plus he applied Vaseline to make it more slippery). As a result, the bulb has been installed and is working fine. Photos of the new bulb's packaging are above As we come to a close - This is what my old bulb looked like with the insertable end. The two plastic points in my lamp have been filed down so the two ink pen points can fit into the lamp. My husband marked their position with an ink pen pointer. It is my hope that this will help anyone experiencing a similar issue.

There is a rattling noise and the device does not work
3/5

The OttLite lamp did not work when I placed the bulb in it. It shook when it came out of the box. The device ended up being a Sunlite PL13/SP65K 13-inch A two-watt compact fluorescent light bulb I was able to buy the replacement OttLite bulb from Amazon at a fraction of the price of the defective one. The bulb is as bright as the original, and it's a bonus to have an extra bulb for when I need it for my other OttLite lamp.

This is the perfect solution for me! One of my Ott Lights is original, originating in the mid-1960s It has been over a decade since I changed the bulb, but I honestly can't remember! Until I happened to turn on any other lights after turning on the dim light, I didn't realize how dim it was
5/5

According to Ott bulbs, they die a slow, dim death, turn gray, and do not simply burst into life the way incandescent bulbs do. I was told by customer service that I needed an A bulb, but it didn't mention anything about magnetic and other such things. The after-effect is similar to that described here, but the before-effect is In 2008, there was certainly a need. I received my Atlanta Light Bulb the next day I ordered, it showed up the day after I ordered it, and I now have light!.

I bought this as a replacement for my Ott Desk Lamp
5/5

It works great. Twenty years ago, I bought two Ott lights that I still use to this day. When I first purchased them, I had read about Ott's clever design, which recreates natural daylight more accurately than conventional bulbs. The first time I used an Ott desk light, I was blown away by how clear the light was for reading documents instead of the usual bluish illumination normally produced by fluorescent and incandescent bulbs. These days I use almost entirely LED bulbs around the house, but I still use the two Ott lamps. Despite the fact that it has not been my previous experience, the quality of the lighting remains superior.

Thanks! It works like a charm! Boxed within a box within bubble wrap within a cardboard box, this bulb arrived encased in several layers of packaging
5/5

The protected area is very well maintained. Initially, it was not that easy to install in the old lamp. It needed a bit of force to push into the socket, and I was scared I would break it, but it eventually snapped in, and the light quality seems similar to that of I am so grateful for my OttLite which is now in working order and at a fraction of the price of a brand.

It is difficult to select bulbs based on the description provided
5/5

Based on the age of the lamp, it is very easy to select the wrong 13w bulb. While purchasing the lamp, I was unaware of what I was getting myself into. I suggest that the package and the bulbs are clearly labelled as to the type of bulb that should be used It is advisable to include the lamp's model number in such a description. That being said, I would like to point out A bulb that worked well for many years lasted when used in the original. My new bulb may not last as long as I expected, so I bought an extra bulb just in case this model is discontinued in the future.

There is nothing better than Ottlite rule
5/5

The OttLite lamp I've had for several years has been replaced with this one While the original sure lasted me quite a long time, this replacement sure does look like it will last just as long! I'm so glad I found the replacement bulb because I am in love with If I need one soon, I'll be glad to know where to go so I can find one. They're quite useful when carrying out any task. I hope I don't need one any time soon, but I'm glad I know where.

Make sure you are ordering the right bulb by reading reviews
5/5

The bulb I purchased was to replace the original, which had burned out in my old bulb A few years ago, I owned an Ott Lite. For the first time, I watched a video to remember how to install it, but once I installed it, it worked perfect. You should know how old your Otto is if you are not sure To help you make it easy, the best thing to do is to choose the correct bulb and watch the iTube installation videos if unsure. The new bulb has not been in use long enough to comment on how long it will last.
