Thrift Store Find: Help?

[allison]

I found and Ott Lite floor lamp at the thrift store for only $8.99.
I just need a bulb. Preferably full spectrum. Can you guys help me look?
It says PL Bulb rated 13 Watts
120 volt 60 Hz
AC only
I have no idea what all that means.
It is a plug in bulb rather than screw in.

I bet menards would have the bulb for it. Take in the old one and have someone there help you find it... I buy some of my FS lighting there too! they fit my lamps and meet FS requirements and only cost me $10!

13 watts - that means you can't use nothing bigger than 13watts and I don't think that is going to be a whole lot of light

most night lights are 4-7 watts

I'm thinking 13 watt isn't going to be much brighter
but i could be wrong

I'm having trouble getting the bulb out. Anyone have these lights? Is there a trick?
