Review on πŸ”¦ EWO's BL-FP240G/SP.7AZ01GC01 Projector Lamp Bulb with Housing - Replacement for Optoma HD143X, HD243X, HD144X, and more by Oren Perry

Revainrating 5 out of 5

At the moment.5 BRIGHT stars!

We bought our first Optoma projector in January 2015 (Optoma HD141X) and it has served us well. You need to understand that when buying and using a projector as the main TV, you need to replace the light bulbs. Experience has shown that this is the case about every 10 months to a year. After 3 years and 7 months of service our first Optoma died so I replaced it with a newer (then Optoma HD143X). Got a year 2 months for this original bulb and then replaced it with an economical bulb for only $45 (https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07NC5WMC6/). This little lightbulb lasted us 1 year and 7 months. Eventually it went out of service in the first week of May 2021. I was just looking for a replacement bulb but couldn't find one in the best possible condition so I was able to get it the next day. So I did this with the whole body. A little more expensive, but whatever. Anyway, installation was easy, and when I turned it on, Holy Brightness, Batman! The thing is significantly brighter than our last energy-saving lamp, which IMHO makes the picture even sharper. I doubt I'll live the same life with it though, but even if it takes 10 months to a year I'll be happy with it based on my experience replacing lamps on projectors. Still early in the game but I'll update if anything crazy happens. For now. I recommend.
