The original lamp (bulb) manufacturers took a decision to carefully select 2 or 3 companies globally that were capable of mass-producing original quality modules containing the original lamp (bulb) inside. This ensured that performance was not affected and was put in place to both improve the supply chain in the market and to counteract the threat of cheaper copy products.
Our premium compatible lamps use original lamps (bulbs) like those supplied with the original projection device, these are then professionally assembled into the cage. This ensures that our lamps will provide the same consistent performance to that of an OEM lamp.

- Copy
- Alternative
- Equivalent
- Generic
- Bulb only
- Non-original
- Re-lamped
The risks of Copy lamps include:Health and Safety: Projector lamps are made to a highly complex design and manufacturing process. This process uses hazardous chemicals within the glass which are under immense pressure and can generate substantial amounts of heat. If the pressure is too high, the lamps can explode, too low and the light output is greatly reduced.
Performance: The quality of a projector lamp directly influences a projector's ability to accurately replicate colours, brightness and contrast levels. It is important that any projector lamp used is designed specifically for that projector to ensure the highest image quality.
Legal: In many cases, non-original lamps infringe the Intellectual Property (IP) of original manufacturers and by importing / selling them you could be liable for prosecution and damage claims.
Identifying a non-original lamp:Price: If the price of a projector lamp looks just too good to be true it probably is! Ask if the lamp is an original and check its warranty.
Module or Bulb Only: Pretty much every OEM and Genuine Original Lamp on the market come supplied as a complete module. This means you can slot the lamp into the projector in seconds. If you buy a bulb that needs to be fitted into an old projector lamp housing then you must be prepared to spend time with a screwdriver to swap the lamps over. This can take considerable time and does not ensure the final product is up to the correct quality standard.
Description: Any product that says, Compatible with or that has a generic description such as 120 watt could mean the product is not an original.
