Cheap Price Cheap Quality Terrible Quality Control

Yes I get it it's a $30 bulb. However, one expects a certain quality. Aside from the pseudo-work, the great boxing and the fact that it fits on the projector, there's nothing more positive about it. In the first photo there are two light bulbs next to each other. Matte aluminum with original bulb. The shinier of the two is the GZWOG lamp. Appearances are very deceptive. First, there are splinters of glass from the crate everywhere. The lamp was not even inserted into the housing because the square corners of the lamp were broken off. Second, the screen wasn't screwed down. I reassembled it and found that the electrical contact on the hot side is 12 AWG stranded wire that is clamped to a solid 22 AWG wire coming out of the bulb. The OEM is soldered onto the ring terminal and screwed onto the bulb. Finally. It emits a tiny light to match the smell of burning electronics. All in all this bulb is junk and I genuinely think I received a broken return as I know most people buy a bulb to keep until they need it. Definitely my case.

Pros
  • Dope 🔥
Cons
