OEM Compliance!: Video Projectors and Accessories

Literally examined this lamp under a microscope. Usually fakes are easy to spot under the microscope because you can see fine details. The matchstick-sized body of the lamp has very small numbers engraved inside the lamp's reflector. Same as the original that came with the projector. The make-believe world probably didn't bother with this detail because it's too much work and expense that would never have been noticed without the increase. Other small details were the same as the original. Measured lamp brightness: Old lamp, 2700 hours, measured 43 lux from the seat. New lamp, 0 hours, measured 48 lux from the seat. Significantly brighter and now I keep the old lamp as a backup. PS: Don't forget that the projector must be FULLY assembled or the projector will not turn on! Pictures are attached.
