Ott-Lite at discount prices! "OTT-LITE Technology's parent company, Environmental Lighting Concepts (ELC), was founded in 1989 as a collaboration between Dr. John Ott, a pioneer in light research, and Fred Mendelsohn, who with physicians at Johns Hopkins University Hospital helped develop one of the first light therapy units to treat SAD or "winter blues". Dr. Ott discovered through 40 years of scientific research the remarkable effects specific wavelengths of natural light had on plants, animals and humans. Today, all OTT-LITE products are scientifically formulated with this original idea in mind, but by continuing Dr. Ott's groundbreaking research, ELC has since learned to refine and differentiate formulations to satisfy various viewing and lifestyle requirements. Now consumers have a choice. With OTT-LITE lighting systems it is possible to see with superior clarity without the intense heat, excessive glare and harsh distortion of standard lighting." ~ELC
