Ott-Lite Eaton 18-Watt VisionSaver Plus Floor Lamp

This is the fourth Ott-Lite product that we have purchased, two for craft work and now two for reading. I called the company to compliment them on their packaging. This is a great reading light, easy to assemble, with a heavy base to avoid tiping! Once you read with an Ott-Lite, you will be spoiled and they are great energy savers!

I love the quality of light from this lamp. I use it for jewelry making, needlework, reading, and writing, and my aging eyes are grateful. The lamp itself, while no work of art, is heavy, sturdy, and fairly neutral in style--far more attractive than most lamps I could have got for the same price (less than $60). The biggest drawback would be that the replacements bulbs are not as readily available as other bulbs, but it's worth it for the light it produces.

In a word: Great. I'm a writer and I use this as my work light all day, every day. I wish I had bought a second one and if it comes up again at a great price I will. The fit, finish and style are all first rate. Previously, I used a desk top model of Ott-Lite but the floor lamp version has been much more convenient for my setup. It also seems to give some relief to the lack of natural light I feel in less sunny months. Regardless, it's the quality of light that matters and this beats all other types that I've tried for close work. Eye strain--goodbye!

It is all metal which was a pleasant surprise. The colors are pewter and charcoal. The style is more functional vs. aesthetic. The base is heavily weighted so no worry of it being easily knocked over. What I didn't like is the exposed cord and that the lamp extension is relatively short, a little over 4 feet fully extended. I bought it to place behind my computer monitor which is elevated on a stationary desk shelf. Luckily my corner desk is made so I could place a step stool unobtrusively behind the main support to achieve the height desired. The light is bright and reminds me of one of those lights for people with SADS. I think at the $50 price w/ FS it was a great deal. Now if I really get 10,000 hrs. of light from it since the bulbs are expensive, I'll really be pleased!

The lamp itself was a good deal as a gold box deal. It was easy to put together and seems sturdy enough; however, when I recieved it the bulb was broken so I ordered a replacement bulb from ott light. That bulb does not fit this lamp there is no where on this lamp which states what kind of bulb replaces it there are many 18 w 4 pin bulbs Pl-c or pl-t and all of the ott light replacement bulbs are in a line which isnt the same pattern that fits this lamp. If it were easy to get a replacement bulb for this lamp it would be a good deal.
