Review on CTLAMP 5J.J7L05.001 P-VIP 240 0.8 E20.9n Original OEM Lamp/Bulb for BenQ W1080ST Projector by Jason Melvin

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Both pleasantly and unpleasantly surprised by this product

The product I purchased was sold by Classic Bulb Inc. and the product cost was $75. When I click on a product review in my orders, the review is posted on that identical product sold by Electric Depot for $200 so I don't know what the issue is. In any case, this is an odd product to test. I have mixed feelings about the product I purchased from Classic Bulb Inc. Immediate delivery. No stress. Just one complaint. I'm pretty sure the bulb wasn't an OSRAM brand bulb. It didn't have the branding that was on the lamp it replaced. It turned out that this is a universal version. However, it came pre-fitted into the housing block which was a pleasant surprise as the picture only shows the lamp and most lamp/housing blocks cost twice as much online as they cost. It was trying to save money on more expensive products with a lightbulb, in case I bought a lightbulb on my own and tried to assemble it myself. So, while I'm a fan of honest advertising (clear descriptions and photos that match the product being sold), I've probably even gotten away with it and am generally happy. The lamp is ordinary, but the case was free. It only cost $75 total, which is probably a fair price for a regular lamp in this case. Putting it into my BenQ w 1070 was easy and the unit works great. I forgot how bright and sharp the picture was until my previous bulb blew up after 4000 hours of use.
