Best OttLite 20M30BZD Marietta Table Lamp, Antiqued Bronze (20 Watt) Deals

Customer Ratings:

I bought this lamp over a year ago, and was reasonably satisfied once I accepted the limitation of the bulb type. I wanted a lower brightness, and had to buy a new bulb on line and not utilize the one that came with the lamp.

The lamp served it's purpose in the same location since I bought it, until the base fell apart. The weight in the base is a cement-filled plastic housing. I discoverd the lamp listing, and when I picked it up to investigate, this cement/plastic base fell out of the bottom. The plastic had ruptured, so the bolt that held it in the base had nothing to hold, leaving a mess on my desk of plastic pieces and cement chunks, and an otherwise perfect lamp useless.

I contacted Ott to buy another cement/plastic weight to bolt into the lamp, but they will not sell the piece. They checked the manufacture date and since it was over a year, no help. I threw the lamp and the two working bulbs away (no other lights in my house use the special bulb).

I have pictures of the base issue I'll try to post here.

Best Deals for OttLite 20M30BZD Marietta Table Lamp, Antiqued Bronze (20 Watt)

I bought this lamp because I was struggling to see my knitting in our dimly lit living room. I wanted a lamp that looked like it fit in with our decor and wasn't too utilitarian looking. I love the look of the lamp, and I knew it would be bright, but I thought I could use the Ott lamp to replace a table lamp in my living room. I was wrong. It's great for task-specific light (my knitting has never been easier to see) but it also destroys the ambiance of my room. It's like a spotlight on a stage--and the rest of the stage is pitch black. I think I may have to rearrange the lighting in my room, possibly even buy another lamp, so that the room becomes comfortable again.

Still, I can't give this a bad review because the lamp does what it is advertised as doing. It is excellent for task lighting. I was just hoping it would also work in other living areas.

I purchased this lamp for my sewing machine desk because the older I get, the more light I need. This is a soft, natural light and is the perfect touch since I live in a condo with limited space.

I love the look of this lamp, but discovered two problems. The bulb is non-standard, and non-dimmable. I plugged the lamp into a dimmable outlet so that I could adjust the light for my comfort level, but the light is either on, or off. There is no in between, and since it's a non-standard bulb, I can't replace the bulb with a dimmable bulb. Disappointing.
