OTT light help?
Hi,
I have an OTT light floor lamp... not currently working. The bulb (compact curvy push in type, not long bulb) is not the problem. When the ON button is pushed a brief flash of light happens but the bulb does not light. I hold the button in for the required seconds but still nothing. Do you have an idea of what needs attention to get the lamp to work? Signe |

The ballast (the black box you plug into the wall) may be shot. If it
is an newer model, you can get a replacement, but with older one's you'll have to buy a new light. I tried to find a electrician to look at mine, or a small appliance repair shop, but the ballast OTT Light uses is propritary. Replacable ballasts are connected to the main cord by a 1" long plug not much wider than the cord. If you have one of those, call the company about replacements.

Try pushing the bulb in a bit. I have to do that do mine occasionally.
