Any replacement lamp that you purchase; whether on-line, from a local projector dealer, or installed by an electronic repair shop should provide a lamp that performs to projector manufacturers lamp specifications (OEM) to ensure that your equipment will operate at its optimum performance levels. Also, it is advisable if not buying your bulb directly, but is supplied from an electronic repair shop, to insist on an OEM replacement.

Philips introduced their UHP technology in 1995 and is now the world's largest manufacturer of projector lamps. This lighting technology gives a light output and useful lifetime never produced until then. As a result this Philips' technology rapidly became a benchmark for practically all bulb manufacturers. Besides Philips (the largest), other manufacturers include Osram, Epsom, Iwasaki (Eye), Matsushita, Phoenix, and Ushio.

Diamond Lamps is an authorized supplier of both Philips and Osram bulbs. Consequently, a bulb offered from a third party for a projector (not from the projector manufacturer or agent) would be a copy. Diamond Lamps does not sell copies.�

With fewer steps to market, Diamond Lamps are priced typically 30% lower than the same lamps bought under their brands.

Replacement of a lamp with anything but a lamp from the OEM should not be done any more than one would replace the optics with anything other than specified materials without causing a serious decrease in the quality of any projected image; inevitably, failing to provide the same performance levels of brightness, color, and lamp life.
