January 9th, 2010All about Projector Lamps
Before buying a projector, it is important to know everything about projector lamps, lamp replacements, care and maintenance, and much more. Basically, you will find two types of projector lamps in the market that include OEM lamps and OEM compatible lamps.
There are only two choices left to you once your projector requires a replacement lamp. One is to go for a lamp of the same brand or standard, and the second option would be to replace it with an alternative lamp. Generic lamps are used only in an unavoidable situation.
OEM lamps
OEM means Original Equipment Manufacturer. Since they are from the original manufacturer, OEM lamps are of the highest quality available and the most preferred ones when compared to other projector lamps. These lamps are also called as genuine lamps that have the longest lamp life under ideal conditions.
OEM lamps are manufactured by leading manufacturers that include Philips, Osram, Ushio, Phoenix, Iwasaki, Matsushita, and much more. OEM lamps are expensive when compared to other replacement lamps.
OEM compatible lamps
OEM compatible lamps are next alternatives for projector lamp replacement. They are manufactured by different companies in quality controlled process, which give them long lamp life.
Unlike OEM lamps, OEM compatible lamps are readily available in the market. They are also cheaper than OEM lamps. The only disadvantage in OEM compatible lamps is their variable lamp life.
It is you who has to decide which projector lamp is best for your projector. BulbToGo offers a wide variety of replacement projector lamps at competitive prices.
