The replacement info for the bulb I need specifies 13-watt PL-type full spectrum bulb, not cool white. Will this bulb work for reading use?

I would not recommend the Feit brand bulb as it has a yellowish tint light rather than white light. Plus, this brand does not last very long. I recommend paying more for the better 13W bulbs.

I use the cool-white bulb in my OTT-LITE for reading at my desk and I like it. It just depends on your preference on light colors - a more office-like cool-white or a warmer light you might find on a bedside nightstand.

Yes, the 13 watt PL-type full spectrum bulb will work fine. I have an Ott Light that requires the same bulb you asked about and yes, it works fine for reading, at least for me it does.

Its cool white so very bright pure white. warm white would be close to a regular bulb and better imo. Picture shows cool. Just select the one you want.

Yes. This should work. It is 8.6 inches in diameter with a 4-pin connection 55watts and 3500k. My replacement bulb matches the other original in our family room in color and luminnce and has worked well.

Hello. The bulb model T13330 should be fine. however, to be sure head over to ur local office depot and double check, i believe the carry ottlites.

Inside the lamp "shade " it says "Use only Max 20 Watts Type Self Ballusted Compact Fluorescent". The lamp itself is a U15200 and printed on the base is "1170 lumens 6500K". It certainly casts a very blue shade of white light. I should think you can source that specific lamp by its code, and screw it into any standard fixture and save a bunch of money!

60 watt or 13W max. CFL bulb is the highest you can use in the reading lamp.

I've tried looking in stores for a replacement bulb and I ended up buying this one online: Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb It works really great, tho. And it's durable. Hope it helps

I use Westek 16 Watt 17" T4 Warm White Fluorscent FA200WBC. I think the bulb you mentioned above should do the job for you. I hope this answer is what you expected.

Yes!!! if ever you consider buying this lamp, I'd really recommend using a 100W equivalent CFL bulb. It worked best for me in terms of lighting (that is, if you want your light to be bright but also very relaxing for the eyes) and this bulb, specifically, is really durable and energy efficient. Hope it helps Triangle Bulbs T40144-4 (4 Pack) - 23-Watt (100W) Spiral Medium Base Natural Daylight (5000K) CFL Light Bulbs, 4 PACK

I have a 13 wt CFL installed. It's only rated for 60 wt standard. So you could put in a 23-26 wt CFL or LED as long as it has the standard bulb base you should be OK.

there is a difference in the connection of verilux vs all the others so if the lamp is by verilux it would be excellent . if it is a different mfg. you can buy a cheaper bulb which may not be as good I honestly don't know

The wattage of an additional light is not a problem. The color temperature, though, should match as much as possible. Try to make sure that, if you use a certain type of bulb like daylight tuned CFLs (5500K), you use the same color temperature in your additional light. For that matter, when replacing bulbs should follow the same rule.

I just copied down the instructions inside the lamp and took the information to Home Depot with me. They gave me the right bulb. It's worked ever since. It says "E17 MAX 25W Type R Lamp." It's a very small bulb in the shape of a flood light bulb. The low wattage works out ok if you are focusing the light on a small workspace.

Depend on the bulb you're using. I have a replacement bulb, it's also in full spectrum but it's white toned Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Yes. It's a full spectrum 27W quad tube fluorescent bulb. I had the bulb replaced with this one, it works great Triangle Bulbs T50026 - FML27/65K, 27 Watt, 6500K Natural Daylight, 4-pin GX10q-4 Base, FML Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb

Joseph, I don't think it would fit the PL type because of the wider circumference of the bulb itself. I can't find a 20w PL bulb in the Ottlite bulb replacement guide that I found at Jo-Ann. In the guide, there are 5 PL bulbs: T1333E Type E (13w), T13330 Type A (13w), T57J3C Type F (for battery-operated rechareable task lamp, 13w), T18330 Type B (18w) and B24553 Type C (24w). If you know the letter type designation for your lamp, you may be able to find a substitute bulb. Good luck!
