Question Optoma UHD300x Lamp advice

[pixel8]

Hi all.
My lamp will be up soon so looking at getting a new one - Can you give any advice on where i can get a new one and if there is anything i should know before buying e.g. fitting issues, fakes, used lamp issues etc?
Many thanks

There's not much coming up on a search besides bare lamps, or possibly this one from Av part master

AV Parts Master Online Store - Original Lamp For OPTOMA UHD300X Projector (Original Lamp in Original Housing)

It claims to be an original, but would be worth confirming with them if it really is official Optoma lamp. With a potentially in warranty Projector I'd be wary of fitting any bare lamp / non original. Optoma seem to be out of Stock and show £289!

How many hours has your lamp done as it shows between 4000-15000 hours.

Hi - Thanks for your reply
It says its on eco mode and states Light Source Hours as 3261?

eco mode and states Light Source Hours as 3261?

Optoma specs state
Lamp life hours (up to)
4000 (Bright), 15000 (Dynamic), 10000 (Eco)

So you may be a way off needing a bulb if it really lasts 10'000 hours

Yeah - well that's great news ...Where dos it say the life hours - Have you got a linky?
PS - I love your cinema room build especially the EXIT sign and the Pringles

I like my room as well thanks , if you ever get a chance to build a BOSS bass system under your sofa I highly recommend it, really makes the pringles rattle . The masking system I did also makes a big difference to the picture
