EWO'S LP88 Replacement Projector Lamp for Elplp88 Epson Powerlite Home Cinema 2040 1040 2045 740HD 640 EX3240 EX7240 EX9200 EX5250 EX5240 VS240 VS345 VS340 97H 98H 99WH 955WH X27 Lamp Bulb Replacement

Had to replace another previous ordered 3d party bulb which was overheating only a few hours after installation (10 hours only). I subsequently ordered this EWO product because of the good reviews and the reputation EWO has. This EWO bulb is designed to replace the Epson ELPLP78 bulb for the Epson PowerLite Home Cinema 2030 projector. So far, this bulb is operating normally and the quality of the projection is good. Nice bright, clear colors (see my photo) and no overheating. While the price is less than the $100+ Epson bulbs and some of the other generic brands... the quality of picture is just as good if not better as the original bulb that came with the projector. Bulb life is yet to be determined but even if it only last 75% of the original bulb, it is worth the cost.

Order on not long ago . Lasted 100 hours and went out on me , great picture when was playing . Just wish was better quality on hours lasting bad purchase . Originally last 4 years when bought .

- *Perfect fit*: This replacement lamp fits my Epson projector perfectly, and installation was a breeze. - *Bright and clear*: The image quality is excellent, with vibrant colors and crisp clarity. - *Long-lasting*: The lamp life is impressive, and I've had no issues with it burning out prematurely. - *Cost-effective*: This replacement lamp is significantly cheaper than the original Epson lamp, without sacrificing quality. - *Wide compatibility*: It's compatible with a range of Epson projector models, making it a great option for those with older or newer devices. Overall, I'm extremely satisfied with this replacement projector lamp. It's a fantastic value for the price, and I'd highly recommend it to anyone.

EDIT: 2000 hours and bulb started the white flicker. Figure not great but for price I can work with that. Ordered another and using that. Once again everything is golden. Super happy with this, didn't expect results this awesome. I specifically went with this product over the ones half the price... figuring cost is a factor of quality. I grabbed a 'screen calibration test image' and set it up as my image, took pictures with my phone, and then replaced the bulb. Well I didn't have to compare new vs old it was that much of a difference, def a LOT brighter/sharper then it had been. My proj is 5 years old and has a lot of hours (2871 hours), I use it mostly for movies (either single or marathon style) and it spent most of its time in the garage 'man-cave' which wasn't always climate controlled. Anyways, I would recommend it did what I wanted. I will update after a 1000-1500 hours if I recall for others. I figure if I get at least that many hours then this was a solid purchase.

Bulb burned out after a few months. Seller promptly fixed situation.

Great product

So after my previous bulb finally gave up after many hours of use, I got this bulb because of its price. I use this projector for my kids' videos and they were disappointed in not having their shows. Install was easy and the first use of the bulb was promising. However, when I turned the projector on for the kids the next day there was a loud pop and smoke came out from the exhaust fan. The bulb hadn't even gotten up to full brightness! I had already cleaned the filter in the projector, so it was not due to poor airflow and the projector was not disturbed in any way. It was solely due to the poor quality of this bulb. Now I will need to get a new bulb again, but it won't be this one.

The bulb that I replaced was original to the projector and failed at 1452 hrs, which I may have contributed to by not noticing that above an elevation of 4500 ft the settings needed to be adjusted to high altitude so that the projector fan runs constantly. We are at about 5000 ft and so the bulb may have over heated...I did read one review on the bulb/projector and the reviewer suggested setting the projector for high altitude regardless of the true elevation, and I would consider that to be sound advice. The replacement bulb ordered from EWO'S was $ cheaper than EPSON and arrived when promised and in great shape. The change-out literally took less than five minutes. I will monitor my usage hours this time and look to purchase a backup bulb at about 1500 hrs. Thanks EWO'S for the fair price and the great customer service!
