Sad Tidings
Last night as I was working on some models my work light started flickering. ย I took a break to do a few things on my computer and when I came back it was completely dead. ย I hadn’t really noticed how spoiled I had been by my OttLite until I tried painting without it. ย I’m going to have to see if I can find an old desk lamp to use until I can get a replacement bulb. ย ๐
I suppose it’s due though. ย The lamp is probably about eight years old at this point and hadn’t gone out yet. ย It’s been fantastic to paint by though. ย If I were to go back and change anything I might go with a desk lamp instead of a floor lamp but this one has served me wonderfully since my fiancee gave it to me years ago. ย The untinted white lite it puts out is perfect for painting by and I’d highly recommend one for anyone else looking for a painting light.
You could grab the hydra floor lamp from the basement that you use to take mini pix. It has full spectrum incandescent bulbs, while not as good at the OttLite may work for a few nights.
Your loving fiancee,

Bah! I’m not wrestling The Squid up and down from the basement every week!
๐ Actually the desk lamps from the old photography rig are the same and should work as a quick fix.
How can you tell that the white light was untinted? YOU HAVE NO SENSE OF SMELL!
I’m sorry that was insensitive of me. I’m sorry for your loss. And I’m tempted by this endorsement (8 years on one bulb!) to get like seven of those lamps myself.
