Sony KDF-50E2000 120 Watt TV Lamp Replacement

Slides right in. I got a 2-year warranty for $2.99. Not all of the lamps sellers offer an extended warranty. Update: The lamp lasted 4 years and one month. Bought another. Arrived in < 24 hours. Fixed TV in 10 mins. To remove the old lamp, don't just pull on the ring at the back. You have to lift to release the lamp and then pull. My TV would work for a minute or two with the old lamp then switch off for a minute and come back on. The new lamp fixed that. BTW: Once you replace the lamp on a KDF-50E2000, go to Menu, Setup, scroll to the bottom to find Replace Lamp, Start, and Yes. No you won't get the message about "Projection bulb near the end of life"

This light is perfect . Got here sooner than I expected . And was so easy to install . Works great , great price .

Having ordered a number of these over the years, you hope you get what you paid for. Most of the time you will only get about a year. I've never had one last as long as the original. There are so many clones of this bulb, many sellers try to pass them off as OEM. Most of the packaging is the same no matter who you buy it from which makes you feel like they are mostly clones and hope you get lucky with one that last 1 year instead of the guy who only gets about a month or two.

Thank you

I had the old original lamp in my TV because we didn't watch it much in our basement but it said it needed a replacement. So I purchased this lamp and it was much brighter than the old one and slid right in. Was happy for about 3 months and then the TV started turning itself off and then back on- maybe a couple times a day at first, and then every few minutes. I see others reporting similar behavior in other reviews. I replaced the lamp with the $80 Phillips bulb and the problem went away. I also noticed the Phillips bulb was incredibly brighter than this bulb- the difference was amazing. The wire going into this lamp is a thin little uninsulated wire that looks like its molded into the plastic. The Phillips lamp has a heavy duty insulated wire going onto a threaded conductor with two nuts holding it in place. Anyway, I guess you get what you pay for, this appears to be much more cheaply made. Thankfully I bought the extended plan for this lamp and appear that I'll be getting my money back as a gift certificate.
