I picked up an ott-light at costco. It worked fine at first but recently it just blinks like a florecent light that is going out. I only have about 5 total hours on the light when it started. I have got it to work once since the proble started but that's all. Has anyone else had this problem? Do I jus thave a bad bulb? Unfortunately I can't take it back because I have had it to long.

Next question. I saw that ott also makes bulbs that fit into a regular lamp. I don't know how much they cost but I would like to know if anyone else has used them and if so are they as good as the regular ott lights?

Thanks all
