My 20 year old lamp needs a replacement bulb where can I get one? I might have to go to a specialty store. Usually the bulb cost more then the lamp.

There are various options as you might have already seen. Unfortunately most lamps will only last 1 to 1 1/2 years. Prices vary, but there are good selections both here at amazon and ebay. Make sure you buy the complete assembly, it is much easier to replace and you don't save much when you only buy the bulb. Select the vendor with the best ratings seems to work the best.

I have been searched for the replacement lamp for this model, but NO luck...looks like it is the lamp itself, so you may have to buy the new set. Sorry

They have the specific replacement bulb on Amazon. Sometimes it's a little tricky to find but its there.

It seems nobody can find a replacement bulb make and model. I'm curious about the spare bulbs as well. The company that sells this does not tell us what bulb this uses. We are screwed if this company goes out of business.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws. Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

Mine arrived with a broken bulb as well (boo!). I've been unable to find a bulb locally, and when they had them on amazon.com they cost as much as the lamp. This seems to be a thing with this company.

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.

if you purchased the lamp within 6 months or so, call or email Conoco. They should be willing to send you a new one free or for a nominal fee.

Look for a 15 or 20 watt bulb in a hobby store or pet shop. Take the base in with you; they won't mind.

I'm don't know where you're from, but I purchase the bulb from the dollar store. I've also seen them at walmart, kmart and target. Good luck on your search and don't forget to take one of the bulbs with you as bulbs come in all different sizes.

call Ott light direct, *(# listed on their web site) and talk to a service rep, I could not find it on their web site, they will tell you exactly which one you need, have your numbers from the old bulb when you call - if they do not have it in stock they will give you the stock number and tell you to order it from Amazon.com. I have done it this way twice.

There is no bulb replacement for this lamp. The bulb has a 40,000 hour rating, which should be good for several (approximately 20) years of service, even at 8 hours per day. Unless you have a bad bulb, the cost of the lamp should be just over a dollar per year. Even at half that rated bulb life, it's still a very inexpensive item. The cost of a replacement bulb could easily exceed the price of this entire lamp. It is just as likely that the switch or the power supply will go bad before the bulb's life is ended. That's my opinion.

mine did not come with a replacement bulb. It does not work/function very well either, very temperamental. If you don't hold it just right, the light flickers on and off. We don't use it very often because of this. Good luck

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.

It's a special bulb, which can be replaced. I'm am still using the same bulb that came with the lamp. About 4 years now, I believe.

Hi Joanne, I too ended up at Home Depot to try to get the right bulb & they no longer offered a replacement bulb for the lamp I bought there, so I rewired the fixture to accept a CFL. I have two of these bulbs & would be happy to ship them to you so you can try them. If they fit your application, send me something neat for Christmas & we're square. If they don't fit, you can donate them to the Goodwill, or ??? Thanks & Best Wishes, John
