Is anyone able to tell me how the lighting compares to Ott Lites? Thanks again.

I ordered it and returned it...I would have used it for cross stitching and I didn't give enough of a circle light. I now use a Daylight lamp which seems to have a larger surface of light. This might be OK for a desk if you are working right under it.

The problem is that Ott-Lite is junk. I purchased a table lamp and after about 6 months the light stopped working. I suspected that the bulb had burned out. After spending about $20.00 for a new bulb, the light still didn't work. Turned out that the problem was the transformer built into the power cord. But wait, it's some odd voltage that nobody else uses and Ott-Lite failed to respond to my e-mails. Lowe's sells similar light for $20.00.

I see Ott light products/lamps in various stores (frequently 'craft/art supply stores). Haven't needed new parts yet, but pretty sure you could get. If nothing else, could likely get directly from company.

the lumens was the only diff i was able to see. so i went ahead and purchased the 725hd. it's great, you don't any more brightness than what the 725hd has. nice clear picture in day or night.

Hi again Wm. I see you've gotten a fair spread of replies. I purposely went outside at dusk this evening and panned across my pine and oak forest property so I could get a sampling of light and shadow. I could make out good detail at maximum viewing distance. There are probably more expensive products out there, but in this price range, these are probably as good as it gets.

When it's off you will see your furniture or whatever is in the room but for me, it makes it look evern more stunning. And once it's on, you won't notice it because the picture is so captivating it will blow you away. Take the LNT-4071F with its glare and the 25,000:1 contrast over the LNT-4061F with its matte finish and 20,000:1 contrast. Once you get it hooked up and see the HD, email me at gc.martin@insightbb.com and tell me what you think. Remember, its all in the Contrast. I have friends who think I bought a Plasma after seeing the picture on this puppy.

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.

The one I purchased did not work in our OTT lite. We eventually got rid of that lamp and purchased a different one.

Not that great in low light. You will need to light the room a little, try a red light or something to have an excuse for lighting :)

quick one that comes to mind is if you have a dark room, plasma should be better. But i personally like LED, aside from being a new technology, on a side by side comparison, the picture looks a lot awesome in LED than in plasma...

Ott doesn't list just the color temp. It appears the CCT is somewhere between 5 and 5.8K.This is found in a a discussion on OTT's website at ( http://www.ottlite.com/pdf/508_science.pdf ). Near the end of the discussion they give their summary of OTT lights as having CRi of 90 or better, CCT between 5000 and 5800K, and 508 dominant wavelength.Hope this helps.

I took some sample pics in the house at night with just lights on. They looked OK without the flash. I find with indoor pics I usually don't like the flash because it seems to wash out the photo.

No where near as bright. But much more asthetic. Suggest you go to home box store and review similar.

I would say that the light is equally as bright, but somewhat more brilliant and focused. I am very pleased with the effect. I used a combination of downlights and eyeballs.

This plasma is considerably brighter than most. Will it be brighter than the brightest LED? No, but I came from an LED and I have 0 brightness issues. I love this tv. It took 6 tvs before I was happy, and it was worth the hassle.
