I have a portable Ott Lite that comes on when you open the light. It's model L13556 &amp; takes a 13 watt, type PL. What bulb should I buy?

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.

The Ottlite brand is here: OttLite T1333E 13-Watt HD Electronic Ballast Replacement Tube or you can get a cheaper one here: Sunlite PL13/SP65K 13-Watt Compact Fluorescent Plug-In 2-Pin Light Bulb, 6500K Color I'm using the cheaper one right now. It does work with this lamp. There are different colors. I ordered "Daylight", but there's also Super White, Cool White, Soft White, etc.

Ott only has one 18 watt bulb that looks like the one pictured, so it will be a match.

You can use any light bulb you would like. I love this light, i have had it over a year and a half with no problems,

Ottlite bulbs are designed for this lamp only, and they are excellent. If you google them, you will see why. I have had two of these lamps and have been very satisfied with the performance.

i had a Utilitech 15watt bulb for almost a year in it and it just died. i just started researching about why and i have a feeling this model isn't rated for CFLs since they have their own CFL specific dimmers. i'm not finding anywhere with a list of approved CFL bulbs for it either.

I don't know who you tried to call. Ott Lite or Amazon? I have only ordered from Amazon. That is what I would suggest to you. I have had very good experience ordering from Amazon. I order quite a bit of items from Amazon. Good company to deal with. I am always satisfied with the service.

Your best bet to make sure that you are ordering the correct bulb is to call the Ott-Lite company. 1-800-842-8848. You can also visit their website at www.ott-lite.com. A customer service representative can assist you in figuring out the best replacement bulb. Once you have that information you can then shop online for the best deal. Hope this helps.

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.

My only thought is you got the wrong Bulb for your Lamp. Ott-Lit's are a special Bulb with a Special Socket that standard Bulbs will not fit. Personally, I junked my Lamp. The replacement Lamps were quite expensive and did not last very long. My advice is buy a lamp that uses standard bulbs.

Check your bulb # and wattage or your lamp and go to http://www.ottlite.com/ and you can find any bulb for any lamp if not available elsewhere and their prices are reasonable.

First of all, you may not have to replace the bulb for many years. The original 18watt double-tube bulb in my Ott-Lite lasted more than 10 years, maybe close to 15 (I couldn't find the sales receipt for the lamp) of daily use. I recently replaced it with an Ott-Lite bulb I bought through Amazon from Light Bulbs Etc., Inc. The price was much less than buying it from Ott-Lite.

Hi. You can not use a bulb that requires more than 13watts for each socket. You will burn out the socket.

I found a direct call to the Ott Lite folks themselves to be most helpful. When I had a question a couple years ago, I phoned them directly and got my answer. Here's their link http://www.ottlite.com/c-92-bulbstubes.aspx or you can simply try ottlite dot com.

It is for the flip up model. It is a different number. I don't know which bulb your light takes. However, Ott lite has a web site that lists which bulbs to use for each of its lights.

A simple halogen bulb from Home Depot would work, just go there with the bulb and I am sure they can help you. Tell them it's 60watts though its the small halogen bulb. I carry several with me all the time, when traveling with these lights.

Darned if I know. My OTT lamp is useless now. Unable to get the right bulb.
