Review on πŸ”† EWO's HC8350 Lamp Bulb: Enhanced Replacement for Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 Projector Lamp by Dewey Tory

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Beeping and flickering video

Well this is not a genuine part what did I expect? I have a PowerLite 8350 and finally after 7 years of use my own lightbulb died. Epson still offers a replacement even though it costs over $300! At the age of 7, the projector is hardly worth more. So I picked this bulb as it (or the Revain equivalents) seems to have decent reviews. Obviously this is a fairly common problem with Epson aftermarket lamps, but this lamp is causing the projector to emit high pitched beeps frequently, maybe once every 3-5 seconds. I haven't found a good forum post anywhere that says exactly what's causing this. Although, man, it's annoying. Playing around with the projector settings I can make the beeps go away, but instead the video gets darker and lighter at about the same rate as the beeps. So either the video flickers or the projector beeps. Either way, I'm losing. Three stars because they nominally work and are cheap.

Pros
  • Durable finish
Cons
  • Expensive
