What
is the Difference Between An Ott-lite® Natural Light™ Product and an
Ott-lite® True Color™ Product?
The Ott-lite Natural Light products
(oldest Ott-lite model line found at stores like Office Depot) are
full spectrum just like the True Color™ Ott-lites. However ,the
Ott-lite True Color™ line is designed to produce a light with
more accurate color-matching ability as measured by CRI(color rendering
index). Absolutely perfect color matching would have a CRI of 100.
The True Color line has a CRI of 95. The Ott-lite Natural Light line
has a CRI of 84. The reflectors in the True Color lamp line
are also redesigned to enhance color-matching. Essentially, the True
Color product line represents the latest in full spectrum lighting
technology. All Ott-lite True Color lamps and bulbs are labeled "Ott-lite
True Color". If it doesn't say "Ott-lite True Color",
it isn't!

What
is Ott-lite VisionSaver Plus™ High Definition Light Technology™?
Ott-lite VisionSaver
Plus™ High Definition Light Technology™
illumination is produced by a specific formulation that increases
visual acuity by showing better detail and definition with high-contrast,
low-glare, and low-heat.This is based on university studies that have
identified specific wavelengths of light that enhance vision. It allows
the eye to focus properly without the excessive brightness and glare
that can lead to eyestrain and exacerbate low vision challenges. VisionSaver
Plus™ lighting also provides excellent digital color-matching
used by digital artists and designers, photographers, and computer
programmers.

Who is Dr. John
Nash Ott?
"When we speak about the quality of
light and its importance to the well being of all living organisms,
the contributions of John Ott stand out above those of other researchers
in the field." Dr. Jacob Liberman, Light Medicine of the Future
Dr. Ott started his professional career as a photobiologist. While
working as a time-lapse photography consultant for the Walt Disney
"Secrets of Life" film series, Dr. Ott found that he could not successfully
grow plants indoors under commonly used artificial lighting. His research
found that all living organisms need the full spectrum of light provided
by the sun in order to thrive. In addition he discovered that the
cathode radiation emitted by common fluorescent tubes caused plants
to mutate and form unnaturally.
Over the last 40 years, Dr. Ott has expanded his research and been
published in many educational and scientific journals, including the
New York Academy of Sciences, the National Technical Conference of
the Illuminating Engineering Society, and the Fourth International
Photobiology Congress at Oxford. He also wrote the best selling book,
Health and Light.
Dr. Ott invented the OTT-LITE®, the first total spectrum, radiation-shielded
light source. It's the closest light to natural sunlight. He has since
created products that have revolutionized the field of lighting.

How
will OTT-LITES® save me money?
OTT-LITES®
burn cooler and use less energy than a conventional bulb.
For instance,
the OTT-LITE® True Color 20 Watt Swirl Bulb provides light up to that of a
100 watt conventional bulb (1,000 hours, avg. life), but saves 80% of the energy
and up to $45 over its 10,000 hour lifetime.

Why
pick OTT-LITES® rather than the other "full spectrum" lights on
the market?
OTT-LITE® lamps were the first total spectrum,
radiation-shielded light source. With other manufacturers coming out
with product knock-offs that look like Ott-lites®, the Ott-lite
manufacturer must have a product worth trying to imitate- with trying
being the operative word! In short, Ott-lites were the first and,
we feel, still the best:
"I've
tried other kinds of natural or full-spectrum light bulbs as well, and if I had
to keep just one kind, it would definitely be the Ott bulbs. Thanks again for
providing a wonderful product." J. Guinness, FL
