This is amazing. It is the 3rd time we have had to replace the lamp in 11 years. Bought all on amazon. Its very affordable and simple to install. Buy 2 so you have one when your tv goes out! You will not be disapointed.

I continue to order from this merchant because we are pleased with their product. We have an older Sony projection television and this product has a longer life than others we have purchased. Our most recent purchase is our back up supply so we are prepared when the current bulb starts to fade. We also love that these are actual Sony lamps.

So much better than the competition. I've purchased bulbs from various vendors in this price range, and this is so far the most reliable I have found. Some of the other vendor's bulbs didn't last more than a month and you could tell they were cheaply constructed. This vendor's bulbs didn't have loose parts, and I knew immediately that it was a better quality bulb. I would highly recommend it!!!!!!

1 bulb used a month. First warped the reflector housing (heat), 2nd just went out (continuity) and I'm on the 3rd now and just ordered an Orsam (real) lamp. The big difference? The lead that goes into the lamp is just running in the base of the lamp - where the real lamps use a screw/nut connection.

Lamps were worthless. The current lamp in my TV was about 4 years old and hadn't failed yet, but I bought this as a preemptive replacement since it was so inexpensive. Worked fine when I first put it in, so I bought a second. After about 3 weeks, the first lamp began flickering (dimming momentarily every few seconds). I removed that one, returned it as defective, and installed the second new lamp. After another two or three weeks, the second of these lamps began the same flickering. It was too late to return that one, so it's going in the trash. I put my previous 4 year old lamp back in the TV and it's working fine.
