You get what you pay for!
(4 out of 5) by S. L. Baver on Jul 6, 2001 (Staten Island, NY United States)Sure, this lamp is rather expensive. I've had one since November 2000 and would not be without it. The light is crisp and as close to daylight as you can get. The tiniest newspaper print, miniscule beads, and delicate black-on-black work are possible under this light. Even though it is flourescent, there is absolutely NO hum or wait for the light to turn on (as with the cheaper desk-model Ott-Lites). It is very well made, and the base is weighted enough to withstand frequent head-butts from my helpful feline companion. Yes, you can buy cheaper lamps, but this one may save your eyes, your patience, and a lot of time in the long term.

Great for Reading
(5 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Jul 27, 2001My wife uses Ott-Lites for sewing and she loves it... I discovered that it allowed me to read without my glasses. It's amazing how this light improves contrast for reading and and allows me to see details more clearly... I can also work at my desk more comfortably with this great product... Everyone needs one..

Not a parrot light, but good light
(4 out of 5) by J. Arbogast on Sep 29, 2003 (Virginia)This is not a parrot light. I had earlier reviewed this light as a full-spectrum light for parrots. You need the "True Color" lamps, which Amazon does not carry, for the proper spectrum for parrots, and the "Vision Saver" is a different spectrum. It is a very nice light, so in that respect it warrants a good rating.

Overrated Lamp
(1 out of 5) by Patricia A. Martin on Dec 21, 2000 (Chincoteague Island, VA)This lamp is poorly engineered, cheaply made, and in my personal experience, has a 100% failure rate. I bought one; it was defective, and I returned it for replacement. The second one was also defective, and I returned it for credit. It was hugely expensive, and I was very disappointed in both of them. I bought a fluorescent bulb for my sewing lamp, and it works fine.

Do not buy this lamp
(1 out of 5) by Amazon Customer on Mar 18, 2004I purchased this lamp in October 2002 to use while doing detailed artwork and calligraphy. The 18W tubes were inadequate, and I had to use an additional lamp.
The lamp broke down yesterday. New tubes (also very expensive) did not help. I also noticed that the transformer was always extremely hot, practically burning to the touch.
I don't recommend this lamp.
