Review on ๐Ÿ“บ Enhance Your Sony TV Experience with Electrified XL-2100 A1606034B/XL2100/U/XL2100U Replacement Lamp and Housing by Jacob Rasmussen

2000 hour bulb worth the money

Most people here are used to the 6000 hour bulb that came with the TV. That's why others will complain when they run out of breath so quickly. These replacement bulbs will NOT last as long as the original bulbs. Also remember that these are lightbulbs. people make them. Sometimes they will burn out sooner than usual. I've yet to dig into Electrified when the 150 day warranty expires, but if you do the math, Sony (if you can find them like they were on the market when I needed them) is charging 199.99 $ plus shipping and handling for this bulb. You can get them here for about $30. If you need 3 of these lamps to last as long as the original, you still have the $100.00 advantage. Also keep in mind that there could be another reason for the bulb to burn out. Maybe the TV is getting too hot? You may have a fan problem or even other electrical issues that these shorter life bulbs can't handle. It's important to remember one important rule: NEVER, EVER, EVER touch the lamp other than the case it comes in. explode before expected lifetime. The lamp I received was made in Mexico. I'll keep an eye on it and if it fails before 150 days is up I'll come back here and update my review to let you know what happened and how it was handled. I would advise you to buy this for emergencies. You'll pay almost the same price as a lightbulb for overnight delivery, so stock up on a second lightbulb for the price of free shipping, just in case. I'm not sure how Electrified will handle the warranty on this bulb as you can't prove when it was inserted into your device, but it saves you the hassle of waiting 10 days for your bulb or paying a large sum pay to get them there. instantly.
