Hideously expensive, aren't they? Still, I'd stick with a name
brand. These are high temperature, high pressure items. Some are very
specifically tailored to a particular projector or series of projector made
by a specific company (i.e. NOT widely interchangeable). A local district
(not mine) had an "economy" white box/no brand bulb explode, destroying the
LCD projector even though the bulb was listed as a 'direct replacement' and
fit the socket. As I understand it, it was purchased from a paper catalog
of a company that listed itself as a "bulb wholesaler". Other bulbs for
overhead projectors purchased at the same time from that company also
arrived in white boxes (some much larger than the bulb), loosely packed in
paper, no brand. Some seemed to burn out early, others were noticeably
dimmer than the bulbs they replaced. Caveat Emptor!
