Review on SP 8VH01GC01 BL FP190E Projector EH200ST Mogobe by Aaron Ward

Working lamp as replacement for HD26 only, short lived

Works great as my first replacement lamp on my Optoma HD26 (original lamp lasted 2600 hours). This is just an onion suggestion. Don't make the same mistake I did and order "Bulb Only" if you also need a replacement housing. Always check the integrity of the lamp housing before ordering. Additionally, if your projector is ceiling mounted, I would recommend removing it to replace the lamp. I didn't (of course) and was met with a rain of broken glass trying to remove the original case to replace the bulb. [The manual actually suggests that, so I'm guessing the broken case glass is kind of typical of the HD26] UPDATE: We use our projector, our main "TV", quite heavily, but this lamp only has about 6 Lasted months which is very disappointing. .

Pros
  • Consistent test results
Cons
  • Newer model could have been chosen
