Review on πŸ”¦ Superior Quality Aurabeam Economy Replacement Lamp with Housing for Sony XL-5200 by Nick Walker

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Sony XL-5200 Grand WEGA HDTV replacement bulb

After 5 years of heavy use my Sony KDS-60a2000 bulb "burst" and that was all it said. I ignored the warning signs of the past two weeks. . . where it took a few minutes to reach full brightness after turning on the TV. I was upset that I would be left without a TV just as I was about to start the week off before the holidays. I've decided not to watch DVDs, play Xbox, and remove items from my TiVo. I was also expecting to pay over $300 for a replacement bulb and was happy to find this one (with decent reviews) for around $50. Order on 20.12. Since regular shipping meant the item might not arrive until December 31st, I opted for Super Saver Free Shipping. I didn't expect to see him before January 3rd. I was VERY pleasantly surprised when it arrived on December 23rd. Considering it shipped at 7am on December 21st, this is a pending shipment. I see it was delivered to my area by Fed-Ex and to my PO Box by USPS. Installation was easy. It was definitely "easy". And yes, THIS LAMP INCLUDES THE LAMP BODY. After setting it up and telling my TV that there was a new lightbulb, I went ahead and selected the energy saving mode to see if I could go 5+ years without that lightbulb. The picture quality on my HD channels seems excellent. Overall great quality, super fast delivery, I am very satisfied.

Pros
  • Ideal for outdoor activities
Cons
  • Minor problems
