Hey James. Yes the bulb is original, but check exactly the model that corresponds exactly to your projector. I bought it like 4 years ago, but it lasted only two times since the bulb didn't fit exactly in its place, so it (lightly) exploited and burned a part of my projector. I guess if I had bought the exact same piece, then it would have been different.However, when you have the original bulb and the new one in your hands, check if the size and figure its the same. Mine didn't and took the stupid risk. So check before changing it, if not, you're still on time to return it.

Annette, that is the same bulb I bought for my same model Mitsubishi. It is well made, easy to replace, and brought our unit back to new condition. Buy with confidence. Rick

it was new, sealed. Do not remember about any warranty but it works and has worked for over a year. Would definitely buy it again if it breaks.Not expensive enough to worry about a warranty. You can replace bulbs if they wear out.

We haven't needed to replace the bulb so I can only provide the labeling on the original bulb. It is as follows:FCL/T4 11W Daylight ( (- ROHS

From what I have read the bulb life is 5,000 hours. The cost for new bulbs are about $200

Not sure about replacement bulb but we've had ours for several years and never needed to replace it.

Have had mine about 8 months and have not had to replace the bulb. I am not sure this is enough time to really evaluate its life span. It is a nice little flashlight, well worth the cost.

Hello, I ordered this bulb earlier this year and never did get a response back as to if I could exchange the bulb for really the correct one. So I gave up after a while. I have gone to home depot and replaced the bulb now. So not sure why I am getting this 6 months after the fact. Thank you!

The item comes with a 24 month warranty. There is no information in the manual about replacing the bulb, but there are four screws holding the cover on that can be easily removed to get to the bulb that I assume can be replaced, though I am not sure where to find a replacement bulb. Hope that helps.

mine is also that vintage - same bulbs as indicated - The less expensive bulbs don't seem to last - I've had a couple that didn't last 2 weeks - fortunately the let place I bought them refunded my complete order when I complained- vey good! I'm trying the new LED bulbs to see if their lifetime is better. I bought the suction cup to unscrew the bulb a long time back - Almost any hardware store should have something similar - a cup holder with suction cup sounds about the right size. Caution - for a blown bulb, sometimes the suction cup simply pulls the glass from the front of the bulb - need a part of needle node pliers to get the bulb out if this happens.

I'm not sure of the warranty. I went through the amazon returns link. The bulb that I bought didn't work new.

Mine lasted a year, but I have never seen this type of bulb before, but i replaced mine with a regular bulb and it worked fine.

I haven't replaced the bulb yet. I assume the bulb is a specialty bulb since its infra red.

not sure, I have had no issues with the replacement bulb for over 5yrs and the TV is on pretty much on all day every day. easily in use 15hrs a day. It is a terrific product! I am sure you could contact the company to see if there is some type of warranty on it, which I am sure there is. don't hesitate to get this bulb! It is far better in all aspects than the bulb that came with the TV from factory. you will be surprised at the difference in clarity and sharpness of picture and colors compared to the stock bulb from Sony. you wont be disappointed.
