Anyone know if these are real Philips? Their website only shows Crystal Visions in the H11. A lot of fake bulbs out there.

The picture is what I received and philips was stamped on the bulb. Beyond that, not sure.

Ordered them last year and they were real Phillips brand. Not as bright as the sylvanias that we had in the car before but way cheaper. Have been very happy with them!

these are great bulbs, have had them in my car for about 6 moths so far and no complaints, they are much brighter than the factory bulbs.

They are now listed on the Philips website and are real Philips (at least when bought from Amazon)

I agree. in the store the LED versions were not as crisp/bright and the colors were goofy. This was the same in 2 Best Buy stores and Circuit City stores. I currently have the bulb model but am experiencing noise from the color wheel. This would not happen with the LED version. I called Samsung to see if they planned on releasing a new 56 in LED and the girl was clueless, yawned on the phone and was of no help. I emailed Samsung and no response. I am not very impressed with that co so far.

Hi Dennis,These bulbs are supposed to have the same life as a standard H13 bulb, Since this is my first time using these I only know how long they are "supposed" to last. For 30bucks you can't go wrong.. I am very happy with these bulbs.

You want a Philips bulb, it comes in a white Philips box. All others are generic and of inferior quality. Philips bulbs will last if you install them correctly - that is no touching with bare fingers! Wear lint free gloves when handling these bulbs. Why? Any contamination on the bulb and or housing (especially the bulb) will drastically reduce its life, and may even cause it to explode. Plus, when you're inside removing the old housing, carefully dust the area, again wearing gloves. Be careful? Doing this will increase the life of your Philips bulb.

Thanks for the info. I hope to goodness that the lamp life is not 3,000hrs! I've been waiting years to buy a projector that doesn't require rip-off bulb replacements. My own HS201 is on a UPS truck at this very moment, waiting to be delivered to my house...

I believe they are from the Phillips factory originally. I like these bulbs. They give a clean, white, and bright light. Just as bright as the other brands costing twice as much.

I tried looking for extra bulbs myself. I called the manufacture and they told me these bulbs are no longer made. So just a heads up, whatever you see on amazon is probably all that's left. Unless you find used ones on eBay or something

From what I know yes. the Philips bulb works perfectly, I have had zero issues with it.

Hey Benjamin There is a side-by-side comparison of the various lamps Philips makes at the end of the listing for the HF3470. It looks like it boils down to this: The HF3470 has a replaceable bulb (what that entails, I couldn't tell you. It looks like the HF3520 must be a "forever" bulb). The HF 3470 has a "sunrise simulation" which I dig, and helps me wake up more naturally, which is what I bought the product for in the first place, so that was important to me, but is it for you? Lastly, the HF3470 has 2 sound simulations whereas the HF3520 has 5. I wouldn't call that particular facet a deal breaker. It looks to boil down to the idea of the sunrise simulation and is that worth roughly $60 for you? Happy shopping.

Yes. I am using it and had no issues. $7.22 for these bulbs is really cheap, this is what i am seeing currently on my screen. Great price here right now.

The one I received in the mail was an actual Sharp brand bulb and was noticeably better than the other off-brands; however, I've seen comments here by others saying the bulb they received was not OEM, so I don't know what's up with that.

Hi Sally, I bought these 6 months ago and they look great. The bulbs are G9, 40W. Look them up, I got mine through Amazon as well, the bulbsfairly inexpensive, they come in packs.

Absolutely! Almost all of the Philips line can be almost submerged in water, they are that good. This is based off of the L-Prize bulb which was frozen, baked, submerged in water and even more (read up on it) and the DOE has 50 or so of them running in an oven since they got them from Philips, not one has gone out and they have the same lumen output today as they did on the day they received them. This is running 24/7 for about 5 years now. They also have the same CRI today as at first use. The engineering here is amazing!

I recently purchased this item (1-2 months ago), and it was both the bulb and the housing - original sony parts. Not the cheap knockoff. The last one lasted us 5 years.

mine is also that vintage - same bulbs as indicated - The less expensive bulbs don't seem to last - I've had a couple that didn't last 2 weeks - fortunately the let place I bought them refunded my complete order when I complained- vey good! I'm trying the new LED bulbs to see if their lifetime is better. I bought the suction cup to unscrew the bulb a long time back - Almost any hardware store should have something similar - a cup holder with suction cup sounds about the right size. Caution - for a blown bulb, sometimes the suction cup simply pulls the glass from the front of the bulb - need a part of needle node pliers to get the bulb out if this happens.

No. The one I got was definitely not a genuine Sony lamp - the company told me that Sony doesn't actually produce their own lamps and that original ones are made by Bosch or someone (I don't remember now). But this one here is not original, and the one I got stopped working after turning it on twice. Do not buy it!! That's my recommendation at least...

Philips does not make a 7000k bulb. They make the "wx" line of bulbs that is approximately 6000k. We have them.
