Author Topic: Lamp life superior bulbs Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-05-2010 09:39 AM                     Those of you looking for a good lamp should also consider the Osram Extreme Life Lamps. I have had every bit as good of luck with these lamps as I have had with the Christies and have completely switched to selling this lamp for cinema use and some digital installs as well. You get a 3500 hour 100% replacement warranty vs a 2500 Hour 100% Replacement warranty and the Osrams will cost you considerably less. Both type lamps have shown the same long life spans and more or less zero trouble.

The facts remains...Osrams turn in to bombs, depending on the run. Christie's out light Osrams and outlast Osrams. Osram blames "you" the user for all of their problems. If you want a good LOW-COST lamp, ASL, right now, has some very good lamps. They too offer 100% warranty until the end of the rated life and are great people to deal with.  |  IP: Logged
