ME AGRADO LA ATENCION DEL PEDIDO

The replacement lamp was easy to install, and it replaced the original Epson projector bulb which was the original bulb from when I initially purchased the projector back in 2019. The original projector bulb was still functioning extremely well with no issues at all. I replaced the original bulb because the projector's software suggested a lamp replacement.

Item received was as described by seller. Perfect replacement for my projector model. Easy installation and handling instructions included.

I received the new Lamp on December 16th, everything worked fine, but it burned out on March 10th, less than 3 months from new. Buyer beware

Update 5-19-25 The second lamp lasted 3550 hours. OEM lamps claim 4000 hours life but cost $140 on Amazon. Cooban lamps cost about $40 and the two I've had have lasted 2000 an 3550 hours. Changing is easy and takes less than a half hour, including removal from the ceiling mount and rehanging the projector. The lamp is identical to an OEM in color temperature and brightness, and maintains its brightness throughout it's life. Cooban includes a mini screwdriver and a cotton glove to keep finger oils off the lamp while replacing it. (Finger oils can reduce the life of a lamp) So, you do the math; $140 for 4000 hours or, based on my two lamps, 6550 hours for $80. I'll go with the Cooban every time! In fact, Changing the lamp is easy, at least on my Epson. First, slide the lens cover closed to keep from accidentally touching the lens. Remove the one screw than holds the lamp cover in place. Two screws hold the lamp in place. Unscrew these, then pull the lamp housing straight up to remove it. Holding the new lamp in your gloved hand insert it into the opening, then press down till you feel it seat in the socket. Tighten the two screws to hold it in place. Replace the lamp cover and tighten the screw to hold it in place. While you are doing this you should also remove the dust filter and vacuum it clean. Actually, if you use your projector a lot, you should do this monthly. These lamps need to run at high temperatures to generate the bright light needed, so good air flow to cool the lamp is critical to long lamp life. Original Review: OK, this is going to sound a little strange giving this lamp 5 stars after it lasted only 190 days, but read on... Projector lamp life is a crap shoot. I've had OEM lamps that lasted 4000 hours to as much as 9000 hours in my Epson projector, and this lamp lasted a little over 2000 hours. Here's why it gets 5 stars. At 190 days it was within the 200 day warranty, so I contacted Cooban. Then, anticipating a couple of weeks to process the warranty I bought another lamp from them to get back up and running right away. Why? Because these are good lamps. Unlike other non-OEM lamps I've bought, these have the correct color light. No adjustments have to be made to your settings. They also seem to run as cool as an OEM. If you've ever had an aftermarket lamp cook one of your LCD panels you'll know what I'm talking about. But. the biggest reason for the 5 stars is their warranty performance! I contacted Cooban with a copy of my Amazon receipt. They responded immediately with a request for a picture of the projector's diagnostic lights. I sent them the picture, which confirmed a defective lamp, and the next day they emailed me apologizing for the inconvenience and letting me know they were sending a replacement, which arrived promptly. Perfect customer service! You can buy with confidence from this Cooban! Another thing to consider is the price. OEM lamps cost almost 5 times what this lamp costs. Epsom claims a 4000 hour OEM lamp life. Changing a lamp takes less than 10 minutes. Cooban even includes a screwdriver and cotton glove to change the lamp. Even if you only get 2000 hours per lamp, compared to the OEM lamp life claimed by the manufacturer you will get more than twice the hours for half the price of an OEM.
