YOSUN Projector lamp for Epson-Elplp97-V13h010l97 PowerLite Home Cinema ex3280 ex5280 ex7280 ex9230 ex9240 880x 119W 2200 2250 2350 Replacement lamp Bulb with Housing

Wanted to make sure to leave a review, since there wes not much helpful feedback on this product.I have an Epson 1261W projector in my theater room, used extensively for movies, streaming services, and rpg gaming, onto an 80" screen.The original bulb finally popped on my projector. Yes, I actually heard it pop, the lamp warning light started flashing.I cant say I didnt expect it to happen, since I did have at least 5-6000 hours on that original bulb. And it should be noted that for about the last month of the original bulb, the projector had been getting dimmer, I am sure the image on screen just wasn't as bright as it used to be. Also, in that last month, 2 different times in the middle of a movie, the original bulb did randomly turn off for about 5 seconds then quickly power back on. So, I suspected this was going to happen.I debated for some time on whether to order a replacement bulb direct from Epson for over $250, or trying one of these chinese knockoffs for about $50. There weren't many reviews on these cheaper bulbs from China, and it seemed like those varied a lot including several that were problematic. But, regardless, I thought it was worth a $50 gamble, so I ordered this one.Product arrived on time, was neatly packaged, had no visible damage. This replacement looks exactly like the original bulb, fitment into my projector was perfect.Good news is the projector powered right up and once it got to full brightness the image from this replacement appears to be just as bright as it was with the original bulb. My wife says this new one is brighter, but she also says she didnt notice the original getting dimmer. So, without a working original Epson bulb for comparison, Im believing this one is equal.Initially, there are only a couple of downsides.This new bulb does take much, much longer to come to full power, brightness. This new one takes at least 1-2 minutes to achieve full brightness. Whereas the original powered up so quickly I barely noticed, must have been under 5 seconds.Also, this new one is slightly louder. Yes, I could always hear the fan running, but with this new one the hum is slightly more noticeable, especially since the projector is directly overhead of where we sit. It's not so much that I would return it, and I would still have bought this one anyway, but it should be noted.The only other factor in this will be the longevity. I do realize that I got an exceptional life out of the original bulb. And with a Chinese knockoff, I don't expect to get the same. If this one gives me 1000 hours, I'll be coming out ahead.I have written this review on 4/29/2024, and will update this review when this bulb goes out. So until then, you can assume it is still working well, at 10-15 hour per week.Ultimately, I do recommend this purchase as a replacement projector bulb, and am giving 5 stars.

Good deal

We have an Epson projector and our bulb/lamp went out but the Epson brand bulb/lamp was discontinued so we ordered this bulb/lamp. It worked for a couple of hours and now doesn't work. This is the second time we have used an off brand bulb/lamp in an Epson projector and the projector wouldn't work anymore. It might be fine with other projectors but I would not suggest it for an Epson projector.

Easy to install, works well. Should last me at least a year

easy replacement works well so far

The unit was needed in less than a week time frame and it has arrived in three days and worked perfectly.

Bought this replacement bulb for my epson 5210..... install took less than 5 min. Started right up....fast warm up time and great quality picture...just like when it was brand new. I will update as I put some hours on the bulb.

counter don't work picture not bright
