I bought an Ott Lite today....
& I haven't even taken it out of the box yet. Why? Because I'm so *confused*, lol!!! I've read every thread on this site pertaining to Ott Lites, & there are 2 opinions:
1) You get what you pay for. Ott is better than the other "natural lights"
2) All full spectrum lighting is the same, with Ott you are paying for the name.
That's what I got out of all the threads, lol. Everyone agrees full spectrum is the way to go, but now I just don't know what I need. Michael's had Otts on sale, so I bought just a 13W for about $35. I went to Big Lots (hoping to score an Ott, like others have) but all they had was a "full spectrum" 27W for about $23. Grand something was the brand. Walmart had their full spectrum ~ I believe 27W also ~ for about $25. I know the higher wattage the better, so do I take back my little 13W Ott & go for a high wattage? But then I'd have to get the non-Ott, because I just can't afford to spend more than $35 on a light.
I know, buy them all & try them all, lol!!! I'm in a big space ~~ our rec room ~~ but it's the basement so it's dark & I really just need it for my table. For those of you with just the 13W, does it work for you?
Off to at least plug the thing in.......
