Electrified CP-X445LAMP DT-00691 Replacement Lamp with Housing for Hitachi Projectors

Purchased this lamp in December for our projector because the life span of the old lamp was just about up. About 3 weeks ago we finally used the bulb and for one week it worked very well. The second week it was considerably darker and last week the words were almost unreadable. Contacted the company and they said the 150 days were up on our warranty which is fine. However I will never purchase anything else from them. This lamp was a piece of junk.

Install was quick and easy and projector works like a charm. I have had no issues and have used it on multiple occasions.

I ordered one of these bulbs and found that it was only half of the brightness of the bulb it replaced. I emailed the company, but they just referred me to the instructions on returning the item. I returned it, ordered another one, but it was the same. I cannot recommend this item (understatement).

I really wanted to like this product since it is about half the price of the competitors, but the one I received was of very poor quality. We use our projector at least 3 - 4 times per week and this bulb didn't even last 2 months.

I ordered one of these bulbs and found that it was only half of the brightness of the bulb it replaced. You can use it for 150 days, after 150 days is done. DON"T BUY IT, IS A WASTE OF MONEY !!

This bulb was ordered November 14, 2012 and burned out, with only 3 - 4 hours of weekly use, by May 7, 2013. This was an unfortunate purchase. The original lamp lasted us 3 or 4 years.
