I was interested about LED lights and bulbs to put into other lights and
lamps to aid my lacemaking but can I ask what the Ott bit means please. I
have sort of been able to follow this story but now have time to ask the
question.

Hello All! Having received some off-list electrical counseling, I need to
clarify the issues with this light! This light does eat batteries--period.
It's not suitable for fine work over time because my light was purchased in
the morning & the batteries were dead by noon. The Ott company does not
supply an AC adapter with the initial purchase, nor does it sell one as an
after market accessory. The purchaser is on his/her own. As pointed out to
me privately, an AC adapter must be "sized" correctly for the device,
something I felt I had done when I purchased one at Radio Shack. Ott blames
the premature failure of the light on the use of an incompatible AC adapter.
The light weight, compact, flip up design is great. The light is pure.
Unfortunately it's a very expensive flash light & "green" only to the extent
that the entire device may be recycled at Waste Management. What should be
a win-win is a big lose-lose for the consumer. It turns out there are a
number of re!
views & suggestions regarding this product on Amazon. When my fluorescent
Ott light quit during the morning session of an EGA class, I didn't take
time to read product reviews. I needed a light immediately & the EGA vendor
had the LED model in stock. It turned out to be a costly mistake. I will
follow up on the other LED lighting suggestions that have been offered
before purchasing a replacement. There should be an answer here somewhere,
but is Ott part of the solution or part of the problem? Sincerely, Susan
