Electrified discounters sells lamps for projectors that are defective. The bulbs will only last 200 hours if that. You pay over $300 dollars for a bulb which should last 2000 hours and you only get 10% of the expected lifespan. They will send you a replacement if it fails within 90 days but the replacement lamp they send you is only warranted from the original purchase date and not the date they send the replacement bulb. This allows them to send you defective bulbs that only last 200 hours or less. You will never get over 200 hours on their lamps because they are cheap junk from China. There is a big difference between the bulb the manufacturers supply with a projector and the ones they sell. They have a small pre-heater element that wraps around the bulb, this is what fails. The element is similar to a filament in a light bulb. Since it is not in an inert atmosphere like a light bulb is oxidizes very quickly and fails.
