Is this lamp a "OEM", "Osram-Neolux", or an "Osram-VIP" rated bulb? It states it has a 1 year warranty and 6,000 hours. ONLY a Phillips original bulb is rated @ 6,000 hours. I am gathering by the comments this is a generic bulb, and if so, which kind...

Gee I don't know. It doesn't state on the lamp which one it is. Until I actually use one, I'll have to take their claim about the hours. I figure for the price, they make nice backups in emergencies!

What warranty? It is junk! Do not buy! Mine only worked once for a few hours and stopped working! Only buy from the dealer they offer a warranty, but the lamp will out last the warranty by a long shot! https://mitsuparts.3diamonds.com

I am not sure how long the warrant is for. I think 90 days. I have about 750 hours on this bulb and is still running strong. I will definitely be buying from this seller again. Just make sure you do not touch the glass at all on the bulb. I hope that helps you out.

It is an OEM. They are very specific about it being from Philips, with an insert in the packaging "authenticating" the OEM. The lamp was very easy to replace...3 minutes tops...and was awesome, right out of the box.

Mine did the same thing, turned off randomly. Sometimes would stay on with no problem. I replaced the bulb with a genuine OEM bulb from Phillips and the problem stopped. The bulbs they sell are not oem as I can tell from when I got the oem part they have differences. Mine starting going out a couple months from purchase just like yours.

My Toshiba replacement lamp came from Mwave and had a 6000 hour life and a 1 year warranty. I received a defective bulb and it was replaced with no charge.

We sell lamps against this listing and the truth is - no they are not made to the same specification as the OEM version. Neither are they likely to last as long. The difference is that the OEM version costs $300+ whilst the compatibles cost $50+. It is also true to say that the quality of compatibles varies from supplier to supplier. We source ours from an ISO9001 accredited manufacturer whilst some of our competitors may not. At the end of the day there is a choice between quality and price and each customer will have different criteria. All our lamps do however, come with a 90 day warranty so it is not a complete gamble.

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.

Not sure about the warranty. Might be 90 days. Bulb has been working perfectly now for about 120 days. Had previoulsy purchased one of the knockoff bulbs and it lasted less than 6 months. This phillips is a better replacement.

I believe it is a third party replacement lamp, not made by Toshiba. I've had mine installed since July and it has worked great, however. No complaints and a fraction of the cost of one directly from Toshiba.

To the best of my knowledge, there is not an hour rating. The original OEM bulb is supposed to last 3000-4000 hours as I recall. The first one that came with my projector lasted a little over 3000 hours and the OEM replacement only lasted around 1200 hours. I have this bulb now and the picture quality is just as good. It has about 500 hours on it so far. For the price, I'll be satisfied if I get over 1500 hours.

They advertise it with 120 day warranty. My lamp burned out in 90 days of use just last week. I emailed the seller with pictures about it last week on Wendsday and still no response. So at this point I would have to say no. And don't waste your money if your purchasing from Arizona seller.

Gosh Clint, I have no idea about a warranty. Philips claims the bulbs will last 18 years, but that seems a bit hard to believe. I suppose if one gets ten years or so out of a light bulb that would be OK. I probably wouldn't send a light bulb back to the seller if it went bad anyhow.

not sure, I have had no issues with the replacement bulb for over 5yrs and the TV is on pretty much on all day every day. easily in use 15hrs a day. It is a terrific product! I am sure you could contact the company to see if there is some type of warranty on it, which I am sure there is. don't hesitate to get this bulb! It is far better in all aspects than the bulb that came with the TV from factory. you will be surprised at the difference in clarity and sharpness of picture and colors compared to the stock bulb from Sony. you wont be disappointed.

I have a 736, but it's the same bulb I use. I have always had good luck with the Philips bulbs - first one lasted almost 4 years (supposed life span of 18 months to 2 years) and the current one has been in for almost 2 years with no problems. Do it yourself replacement which is very easy makes it a very cost effective alternative to having a shop order a bulb and install it.

The last Phillips bulb I bought lasted well beyond the range of the manufacturer. It was like three years of everyday use,numerous hours most days. I wouldn't worry about the warranty, it should meet specs and better.
