ott light owners

Ok all you Ott light owners out there. Have you ever had a problem with
your ott light turning off all by itself but then when you flip the
switch it turns right back on? NO I do not have any ghosts. I was
wondering if this was a problem with getting too hot or the bulb going out.

problems at all!

Some easy suggestions: Unplug it. Check the transformer plug(?) that big
black box plug-in thing for dust, dirt, QI hair, batting fuzz. See if it is
clean and snug.
If you have it plugged into a surge protector, check it too. These are
fairly easy to check. I throw an industrial amount of batting fuzzies around
here and sometimes it can make an electrical connection sort of spooky.
A little more difficult, if those easy ideas don't help. Take the bulb
out. Make sure it is clean and the connection is too.
When my Ott bulb was used up, it seems like it just went out for good. I
had to order a new bulb but that light is one of my favorite friends and I
sure was glad to have it back. Polly

I have an Ott light but have never had this problem. There was a long
discussion of this very problem several months back over at RCTN so I would
recommend that post your query over there too. A whole lot of RCTN people have
Ott lights and IIRC, some of them contacted the Ott company and were told that
there was a problem like this with one batch of lights! CiaoMeow ^;;^

Nope, I've never had this problem. Could you have a short in the lamp?

How do I access RCTN? Is it a web page or a newsgroup?

It's a newsgroup -- rec. crafts. textiles. needlework -- and you get to it the
same way you got here -- to RCTQ :-) . I've been looking to see if you have
posted over there and hadn't seen anything. I was gonna post here again
because sometimes my posts don't show up here. I am SURE someone over at RCTN
will be able to help you with the Ott Light problem :-)). CiaoMeow ^;;^
