It arrived broken but was able to move the lamp to another housing and it works great.
The item arrived with a broken tab on the housing and even though it installed fine the lamp didn't work at full brightness. I had to contact them to see about a replacement. With the suggestion to move the lamp to an old housing I had did fix the brightness issue. The last lamp I bought from Jaspertronics for my TV the tab was also broke upon removal yet that one worked fine until it blew. Even though the box had a little damaged during shipping the lamp was encased in foam blocks, the damage on the box was not near the broken tab. For the inconvenience of having to move the lamp to another housing I did get a 10% refund which I appreciated. The lamps last about 18-20 months(definitely not 6000 hours they advertise, bur maybe a little over half that) and if the TV is still functioning I will likely buy another lamp from them if they still sell them. A new lamp is about 1/8 the cost of a new TV, and one of the TV's I bought lasted 7 years and the last one only lasted a year before it failed which is why I am back to using this projection TV. At that rate of TV's I am further ahead just buying these lamps.
