Died after 6 hours. No idea how to contact seller for the "200-hour warranty."

I got an Epson 1980wu reconditioned with an original Epson lamp that had 1700 hours on it. I figured that I'd try a cheap lamp and keep the original as my spare. It arrived well enough packaged for shock protection. I have only run this on Eco mode and they both use about 168-170w. I measured the brightness using a lux meter on my Samsung phone and they were very similar, maybe a slight edge to the original Epson bulb but no more than five percent. There was the expected plastic smell but only for an hour. I will also measure the heat output, to touch the projector case near the exhaust seemes warmer but that's very subjective. I will check with a laser thermometer when I find it. I'll give it five stars for now, it seems as good as the original lamp and I paid just $37 or so. I don't plan to use full brightness as eco level is plenty for my space. Will it last? Right now my hunch is that I would surprised if it blows in a couple of hundred hours as I have read happened with other brands.
