Compatible Lamps Explained

Original Replacement Lamps
Manufacturer original replacement lamps are produced by the original projector or Rear Projection TV manufacturer and are made to the same high production standards as the projector or TV itself. Projector Lamp Experts supplies manufacturer original lamps for every projector and Rear Projection TV.
Compatible Lamps (Copy Lamps)

Copy Lamps are often produced by non-regulated companies. They are supplied in boxes often lacking labels, for prices that sound (and often are) too good to be true.
Compatible lamps are frequently supplied as "bulb only", without plastic housing. Bulb only products can be unsafe and require technical knowledge of electrical wiring when installing the lamp.
