color wheel: My question is, will the lamp illuminate if the color wheel goes out?

yes, it has a brown and white picture and starts to make a loud humming noise.

Hello and good day. After calling customer service,I ended up returning it to Toshiba to get fixed. Since then, no problem. I also had a faulty lamp.

Yes. The brightness intensity/color thumbwheel will turn the dot off at the R and G positions. The dot (when on) however is very dim in sunlit conditions unless your target is dark to black.

Oh I so wished mine would have warned me........... lol mine is and older model and when it went out, it just went out and you did without tv for the time it took to get bulb shipped. But, yes if it is telling you that your backlight is going out this would be the fix.......... double check the number of lamp, it should be on the back of your television somewhere around the lamp, that or just take the lamp out it should be on that also.

I do not know if the lamp is working. I assume it is. It does get quite hot when you are using it. The lamp does have a bluish tinge. I've been trying not to look at the light though because it's supposed to be bad to do so. I wish I could test the lamp on some bacteria/virus on agar cultures. Sorry I couldn't be more help.

Maybe you have a defective lamp ...we did not have any issues and it still functions perfectly after a year. Call Amazon and they will issue a return form....best of luck with the replacement! Follow the instructions and you should be happy with the lamp!!

Sorry I can't help. I threw mine out after it failed to work in the lamp we bought it for. In fairness, I think the lamp was the problem, not the bulb.

Mine has lasted 2 years now. When you installed it you did not touch the lamp at all with your fingers and transfer anything to the lamp face? That maybe could create a hot spot and it burned out? Sometimes there is just a defect.When I first installed it I must have jarred the optical block so I had a rose tint across the top of the screen about 3 inches down. After a while you learn to ignore it, but I noticed recently that the line is gone. I moved the set a bit recently to get at a side connector and I am wondering whether that jarred something back in place. Now I won't move the set at all until the bulb dies again or something else goes south. Mine has lasted 2 years now.

I have no idea. I wonder if all the lamps are going to go bad. You can buy new cord etc at Home Depot.

I replaced the color wheel approx. 6 or 7 yrs after purchase , but the projection tv was a floor model and probably has a few extra miles on it just because of that! The main reason of replacement was a loud screeching noise from the wheel bearing, I guess. hope this helps

It's not likely the LED will go out. If it dies it will be the whole unit, music + lights.When the whole unit dies, just email warranty.service@musiclites.com and explain what happened and they will RMA it.

If it's a burnt out bulb...I'm thinking the bulb just needs to be replaced. If something goes wrong with the lamp fixture/ wiring then assume repair or replacement of unit would be required.

2 lamps I originally bought lasted decades literally. It seems life is based on # of on/off cycles as first that failed was used many more times than second one.Condenser in the lamp failed before the bulb. Condenser creates the charge needed to "start" that type bulb. As with all lamps "life" depends on combination of on/off cycles more than running time "on" because each "on" is a literal SURGE OF ENERGY... I saved the bulb as it was still 'good' ...hope that hekps

wish I could be more helpful, but I don't dim the light in the traditional sense. I use dimmer X-10 modules to turn some lights fully on and off. What has happened over that year or so is that the light began to flash when not in use. My experience with other LED lights tells me that the loading circuit within the lamp has failed (an artificial small load to simulate standard bulbs to controllers). To not go crazy I put the lamp on a relay switched X-10 module.As far as color in full on performance, without an instrument, no one would see a color shift.hope that hellps.

I don't have any issues with the lamp (so far) I love it. Maybe you can return and get another one, well worth it.

The bulb project simultaneous colors at time, but it does not change, only rotate. If it's only a color, contact with the seller.

There's also a sensor slider switch between lamp and reset switch... I believe it's a motion sensor. If it does not sense any movement for awhile, it will shutoff. Switch this to off if you want the stars continuously on or timed for an hour.
