Philips 34500-9 - PL-L 18W/30 - 18 Watt Long Twin-Tube Compact Fluorescent Light Bulb, 3000K

Works perfectly! No problems! Nice and bright.

I like this lamp

This bulb is a substitute for a bulb that burned out on my OttLite floor lamp. OttLite wanted $25.00 for similar type bulb and this light was about $8.50 on Prime. Even with photos it was a challenge figuring exact dimensions and although both are 18 watt my Ott bulb number was 9525, which doesn't match any numbers of the Phillips, plus I have a lamp from 2000 which is discontinued and bulb numbers on current models don't correlate to the 9525. I measured the base fitting, bulb and prongs that stick into the lamp and hoped for the best. It is perfect and it seems even brighter than the Ott bulb.

Although the new bulb fit perfectly, same size dimension and boasted bright light, the truth is it puts off a yellow light and not the bright white from the last bulb. I would go back to the original given the chance. Guess that what I get trying to save a couple of dollars.

I recently needed a replacement bulb for an OttLite Desk lamp I have. Did some googling and eBay hunting and found that my OttLite required a bulb which cost $18(+-). That seemed a bit high for an otherwise ordinary florescent bulb so I did some reading on what was so special about my bulb...and thats when I found out... absolutely nothing was except for the way the type of bulb was explained by OttLite. I did a bit more research and found the Phillips bulb I bought. Tried one to see if it might work and saved nearly 75% with the low shipping charge. OttLite...You make a great product but shame on you for the bulb screwing (no pun intended) you give the public when they need a replacement.

I purchased this light bulb to replace the original in my standing OttLight as I thought it burnt out finally. Turned out the switch on my unit wore out and needed fixing but it was obvious upon that fix this bulb was missing the mark to what Ott uses and is slightly warmer or duller in color. I went back to my original bulb as it still works but keeping this around for the day it does finally go bad or I end up with some other light that takes it.

I needed a bulb for my OttLite lamb and had not been able to find a replacement. I found this bulb however, after reading some of the reviews I was afraid it would not fit, as some had mentioned problems getting it to fit their light...I had no problem at all!!! I am just so happy to have found a replacement!! And the price was great!! I am very happy with this product!

I've been trying for the last few weeks to find a replacement for my bathroom bulbs after they were discontinued. I read about these online and decided to purchase them. My order came 2 days earlier than expected and they were a perfect fit! There is a slight hesitation/flicker when I turn my light on, but then the light is steady and bright. I will be ordering these again!
