I think we may have used them in the past not sure. If its lamps you want (i.e. without the housing) then it might be worth looking at http://www.interlight.biz who are based in the US

 

You need the details of the lamp (which should be on it) but we get our Sahara Projector lamps through them at about half the the UK price. There is shipping and duty to take into account but it has always worked out cheaper and they arrive as quickly as ones we have purchased in the UK! They do complete the complete assemblies too but I don't know how their prices compare to UK suppliers

I've looked at using them but haven't done so yet. A colleague here passed my their info (and a discount code on a chip, I assume you have one too?). Would be nice to know if anyone has used them!

Yes used them twice after visiting the Bett show. Got a UF75 and UF55 bulb delivered within 2 days of ordering and they were about 50% cheaper. Quality of bulbs looks good

and all seems to be working fine. Obviously not sure about longevity yet but so far very happy with them.

Yep. Came across a flyer that I must have picked up at BETT accidentally when one of our lamps blew. Fired them an email and they were cheaper that AVPartsmaster so we ordered. Lamp works perfectly.

Are they OEM lamps or copies?

[fairm010]

Ours was a compatible although looked identical to the OEM. Can't comment on lamp life as it is still working!

Interesting! i just did a bit of Googleing and came across this http://www.genuinelamps.org/ - seems there is a bit of a hot topic between OEM and copies.

The last couple I've bought were from Roche AV. I went with their compatible lamps as they offer a two year guarantee. They happened to be out of stock at the time, so I have OEM lamps at a lower price with a 2 year guarantee.

 

I've bought projectors from them and always been impressed with service and price.

Weve used them in the past, only once though as we have started to chnage projectors with dying bulbs as the projectors are so old. The bulbs seem ok, it does the job and is still working. I cant remember when we purchased the bulb though, it must have been at least a year ago though.

Used them only once recently after receiving a flyer at BETT. Ordered a PJD5126 bulb, was told it was currently out of stock and to expect delivery in 7/10 days. Would Recommend.

Not going too well so far. 1st lamp that came was the wrong model. Sent that back. The replacement then came lasted a few days then blew. Sent that back. Replacement then worked. Ordered another bulb, lasted a few weeks and now going to send back again. They were cheaper than my previous supplier, but not cheaper if I have to keep sending back. Am I just unlucky? I'm thinking about reverting back to my previous supplier. Any other experiences??

I've decided life is to short for compatible bulbs.

 

I get all genuine and I buy them from Futurform who do me a blinding deal.
