Product arrived on time and worked as advertised.I recently ordered my 2nd bulb from them b/c, after 6000 hours on the first one, it was time to replace it. The first bulb worked great, and the image was great. However, after ordering my 2nd bulb from this company, my old BenQ projector died. So my 2nd bulb was not needed. They accepted the return with no issues. If needed, I will order from them in the future.UPDATE: I got my old projector working, so I got a new bulb. Wow! The image is great. It's like a brand new projector.Very pleased.

This was a perfect solution for my projector. Worked great. Installation was a bit of a chore, but that's not the problem of the bulb itself. All in all, I'd purchase one again if I ever needed to.

This lamp work nicely but it doesn't have an IR filter so if you use it like shipped you will fry your color wheel and other projector components. Disassemble your old lamp casing which had an IR filter and put this new lamp without the casing in it.

Bulb was easy to replace. The power cable fell apart while I was going to plug it in so I just popped the one off my original bulb and used it. Very happy with the picture brightness and clarity.

I purchased this replacement lamp for my BenQ HT2050a projector as the original lamp was nearing the end of its lifespan at around 4500 hours, causing the image to become noticeably dimmer. Initially, I was skeptical due to the much lower price compared to the OEM replacement, which was over twice the price.The installation was straightforward, and to my surprise, the new lamp provides a much brighter and clearer image. The improvement is especially noticeable, perhaps because my old lamp had significantly dimmed. I’ve now used this lamp for over 500 hours, and it continues to illuminate my 120" screen as brightly as when I first installed it.Great value and durable replacement. Highly recommend for BenQ HT2050a owners looking to replace their projector lamp without breaking the bank.

I put this in my cart in November 2023, but decided to sleep on it before purchasing. The next day, the price had gone down to less than $90 as a Black Friday deal, so I decided to go for it. The bulb made an immediate improvement to the image quality and brightness, and it continues to perform well, one year later. I use the projector nightly, and at 1200 hours, it's still looking great. At this point, I have gotten my money's worth, and I would buy another one without hesitation.

The difference between this and the old one is massive, I didn't realize how bad the original bulb actually was. Install was very easy, took maybe 10 minutes - most of it was me figuring out how to gain access to the old bulb. Perfect fit and much less expensive than buying brand name.

I was befuddled because I installed this replacement bulb, and the picture came up very dim with one slightly brighter spot at the top of the screen and a large blue-tinted splotch in the middle. After taking it back out, I noticed that there was a heat mark on the plate that interfaces the bulb into the optics--and this heat mark showed a circle, where the hole where the optics go was right on the corner edge of that circle. I deduced that the bulb was okay, but I was only seeing the outer edge of its light pattern through the projector.Discovered after comparing the replacement bulb with the OEM bulb, that the entire bulb was around 30 degrees crooked inside its heat-sink housing. There are apparently a couple of clips there that hold the bulb flush to the housing and it had come out of one of them on one side. After snapping that back into place and reinstalling, picture was very bright and clear.Installation: Two screws with catchments to remove the projector cover piece, and then a single mounting screw to install the bulb and heat sink housing. Very easy. Package also came with a Philip's screwdriver and a cotton glove to avoid scratching any optics.Picture: As good as I remember the OEM bulb being at the start of its life. Definitely brighter than the OEM bulb at the end of its life that it replaced.Reliability: I'm still in the first hour of operation, so we shall see.

UPDATED - PLEASE READ IF YOU HAVE A DIM IMAGE: I pulled the bulb back out of the projector and took a closer look as someone else had mentioned that it could be misaligned. As you can see in the photo that indeed the bulb was MISALIGNED IN THE HOUSING, possibly from shipping. I pushed on the end of the bulb to straighten it and it snapped back into place. After re-installing the bulb into the projector the image was bright as I would have expected it to be and was able to reset all image settings back to normal. Movie nights are back on! As an aside, the seller reached out and offered a full replacement, but that is no longer required. I would have given 5 stars if the bulb worked out of the box with no hassle.ORIGINAL REVIEW: Very poor quality bulb and housing. The brightness is not even close to the original bulb, even on it's last days (approx 1700 hours on original bulb). I don't have anything to measure the brightness but my gut feel is that this bulb is approximately half as bright. My projector can no longer be used in an ambient light setting. Now requires complete darkness and gamma setting of 1.6 (brightest) to be watchable. Of course that setting washes out details and colors. Before my original bulb died I was setting the gamma down to 2.2, sometimes 2.0 for a very dark movie. Even the housing that the bulb is in is bad. The focal point for the light is skewed far left of center and down a bit leaving the right side of the image even darker yet. It used to be that people would come over and comment how great the image was on the projector and now I have to apologize about the poor quality before we watch a movie. I will be sourcing and purchasing a true OEM bulb to replace this one.

First the good, the bulb was very easy to install and posed no problems in operation; while it lasted this bulb provided a beautiful and bright image. Unfortunately the bad which ruined everything before it, the bulb didn't even last 5 months. Bought at end of June installed in August and died on Thanksgiving day. Same usage level as original bulb which lasted years.
