for ELPLP78 Replacement Projector Lamp with Housing

Bought 4 months ago. Installed right away. Noticed some light flickering sometimes, not not always. Didn't test 3d movies on it. It was sub par quality, but barely noticeable. Well, tonight, when I turned it on, we smelt burning plastic and the fan went nuts. We quickly turned it off. Fortunately, we had another, brand name bulb on hand and set about replacing it. We can't get the darn thing out. It got so hot in that 30 second window turning it on that it melted the plastic around it. We are still working to get this terrible product out of our expensive projector. The projector may be shot. The cost difference between this bulb and the brand name is not worth destroying the projector. I hope it can be saved.Update: This bulb melted the connection port, holding the bulb in place. This is not something the average person can fix. We are currently taking apart the whole projector in the hopes of removing the bulb. Best case scenario we can find another connection port and purchase it. Worst case, we need a new projector.

The Mogobe ELP LP78 Replacement Projector Lamp, given that the Epson OEM replacement is $100+, is economic enough that you can replace it nearly three times before the cost exceeds that of ONE OEM lamp.For those concerned about performance I measured the light output of the Epson Projector's Blue Screen using both the OEM (with about 100 hours on it) and the Mohobe at 30 inches from the lens. After allowing both about 3 minutes to warm up, here's what I measured (in kLux): 1. Epson OEM Lamp: > 3000 kLux 2. NEW Mogobe Replacement: just over 1700 kLuxClearly, right out of the box, the Mogobe does NOT have the light output of the OFM lamp. However, unless you are using it in a large space and/or one with bright ambient light, this may not be a problem.My usage is typically in small industrial classroom environments which do not usually have bright ambient lighting. In this environment, I find the OEM lamp to be TOO Bright! So the loss of the 1300 kLux will not be an issue for me and is quite adequate for my usage.Hopefully this info will aid in you decision making based upon your intended projector usage and the environment it will be used in,For those, Photographers and others, who might want to produce large screen presentations of photos or art work, the Color Temperature of the Mogobe lamp may be too low, rendering a slightly warmer look than intended. (Note; This ill also happen as any lamp ages.) If this is of concern in your application, I would suggest you calibrate the ICC Profile of ANY projector/lamp combo prior to each use. This calibration can be done using a "ColorMunki Diaplay" or "ColorMunki Photo" from X-Rite, both are available here on Amazon.

Never got to see anything come out of the lamp. Plugged it in, turned it on, saw smoke and smelled burned plastic. Sure enough, it melted the inside. Wasnt easy getting a melted lamp out of projector. I'm going to contact the company now to see if this warranty is actually works and how easy a replacement or reimbursement will be.Packing was minimum as well. The box fell apart when I took it out of the manila package.

Fit good and worked. Just replaced it after 10 months (2400 hrs). Price was lower when I bought it in Feb so I went with a different bulb this time. First Epson bulb lasted 3700 hours and burned out, second Epson bulb exploded at 3400 hours, so this one was acceptable for one third the cost. I think I paid around $35 in Feb, wouldn't recommend at current price. The one I just got for $29 and prime shipping has better picture quality, hopefully it will last the 2500 hours it is rated at, I never run in ECO, always use normal mode btw.

This is definitely the bang for the buck. I had worked with the company for a mix up on my end and they totally took care of me well beyond my expectations. And the lamp after running it for 100 hours to break it In is performing better than my factory bulb. The black to white ratio seems sharper and a lumen test showed a 19% brighter throw than my factory bulb. I couldn't be happier with the product and the service.

I bought this item in July 2017 it is now dec 2018 and so dim i can hardly see i guess it served its purpose and i would recommend it if your in between top quality bulbs it'll do fine or if you just need a quick cheap bulb so your projector is not out , but be warned , darkness is coming lol... sooner than you expect especially if your a daily user like we are.....

Worked great. This is the second one I have bought and I use my projector about 6 hours per day. Last one I got well over 8 months of they much use. I’m way impressed.

have ordered this bulb three times now. Each time it lasts about 3-5 months....but we do run our projection screen ALOT. we stream all our movies and Netflix binges and such through that lightbulb....so for the cost we do abuse the heck out of it before it burns out. Not a bad price for a giant tv screen and no cable needed.
