Re: Ott-Lite replacement

2010-03-03 by keesatindy

Jarvis, after I posted my original message, I continued to search online for the "Vision Saver" bulb and did find the bulbs with the HD designation. At first I wasn't sure that these were designed for my lamp, but I later found that the unusual notched base is the same and I think this is the only lamp that ever used that unusual base. So, I agree that the HD is a replacement bulb, but how did you conclude that it's an "upgrade?" I didn't find that info. Is the HD bulb supposed to somehow be better than the older standard "Vision Saver" that it replaces?

Thanks....

Tom
