Review on πŸ’‘ EPSON ELPLP49 Projector Lamp Replacement with Housing by Kip Ruach

Revainrating 3 out of 5

I received a $200 Epson lightbulb - not aftermarket

I received my lightbulbs and was surprised to see that they are actually OEM products. They were identical to the original lamp in every respect, from the Chinese characters to the word "epson" molded into the plastic. I assume they get these lights from multiple vendors so maybe not everyone gets an OEM but I did. No issues with burns or smoking or other things people have posted (replace/clean air filter? Did you buy the wrong bulb for your projector?). If you touch the glass, you will experience image/color issues, but these can be corrected with a screen cleaning cloth. Excellent purchase. Maybe I'm just lucky, but I had a good experience. UPDATE: A year later there is still a great picture. Judging by the rest of the negative reviews, I'm really lucky. Also, no one seems to mention that they ended up getting a true OEM product like I did.

Pros
  • quality construction
Cons
  • there are defects
