    Dear "DRPekarek," Strangely enough, I read your post just after
    ending a long and informative conversation with the Ott Lite company.
    The technical person I spoke with said that their lamps are not
    fluorescent, but a related technical breakthrough: unlike
    fluorescents, they do not flicker, their life span isn't affected by
    how often they are switched on and off, and they do not contain
    mercury. I don't know enough about technology to swear this is true,
    but I assume it's why they're patented--and why their "compact"
    replacement bulbs for incandescent fixtures cost $45! 

    Maybe other Orchidians have something more informative to say about
    this.
