AuraBeam Professional Sony XL-2100 Replacement Lamp with Housing (Original Philips Bulb)

I installed this bulb 3Dec16 in my KDF-50WE655. Installed in minutes. Bulb has restored the brightness of the picture to like new. Two weeks and working perfectly. Exclusivebulbs customer service and shipping was excellent. I'll update my review after 180 days installed. Still performing excellent at 6 months of use. Still performing excellent at one year of use! It's 22May2020, the bulb is now showing age. I got nearly 3 and a half years of excellent use.

Per the Technical Sheet enclosed with the Bulb, it is NOT a Real Phillips Bulb, as it does NOT have the 'markings' on the Bulb and the Bulb Reflector that denotes that is is a GENUINE Phillips Bulb made expressly for this Sony Projection TV - and Sony's Technical Department for this type of TV told me that "This TV will not work without the actual Bulb made for it by Phillips" - Michael Young - Wanted Music, Inc. - Columbus, Ohio - 614-861-1000 or m614-638-2755

The lamp fit perfectly and was easy to install, but it burned out in just over 2 months. I was surprised to see that my lamp indicator was flashing on the tv so soon. Usually my bulbs last years!Everything still looks new on the housing, but the filament is done. Disappointed that this happened just outside of my ability to return it.

Received bulb couple days ago and just installed today. Easy installation. Very bright picture.

Lasted 6 months approximately I bought exteded warrwnty will try for refund.

My aunt gave me a tv & she replaced the light w a cheaper version. The picture was so dark & no setting I put it on helped. This light is everything!! The picture is bright & clear I was so impressed by the drastic difference jst by changing the brand of projection light. 2 thumbs up. Great investment

Product came quickly, easy o install and I had my TV on in a jiffy.

After purchasing the less expensive light, I the picture was poor and dark. Highly recommend spending a little more to a quality picture.
