The Philips name brand doesn't appear anywhere in the bulb/housing, packaging, or instruction printout. Did I receive a knockoff?

Yep. A Phillips bulb will have their stamp on the bulb itself. They had a flyer in the package that gave that info I looked and sure enough right on the bulb was the Phillips logo. I would order a Phillips and return the knock off.

You need to check the confirmation of your purchase. If it says 'compatible' then you did not receive the Phillips brand product.

The one I purchased came with instructions on where to locate the Philips name on the bulb. I checked and the name was on the bulb itself. I also received a warranty card with the serial number already attached to the card.

I can't recall whether mine actually said philips either. All I know is that it's worked fine from day one for over a year.

The bulb housing could be recycled, but the bulb should have a philips sticker on it.

You know what. I've had that happen before. Seems normal. It's an amazing lamp. If you're still worried I would go straight to the source at www.philips.com and click on the contact link at the bottom and chat with them.

Hi I never got that far as to seeing if they are as bright or brighter then standard bulb, because while inspecting the fit and finish of the wiring connectors I noticed inconsistent quality. The heat shrinked connector joints were done one was done properly and the other was not even close. So I did not want to even risk it.

Not a Philips TS-CL110UAA bulb, at least not at this price. Most likely uses an FI Lamps generic bulb. Don't expect to get the same life from this as a Philips or Osram OEM bulb.

Hi Mike S. I am at work right now, but I checked my order to see if there was a brand name on the order. It says it is a "Sony XL-5100 Replacement Lamp with housing". When I get home tonight, I will check the lamp. It is still working great, by the way. Katie

I have the same problem. I bought the silver 500G (2/13/10) whose LED lights were totally different from the picture of product! then I googled this "new" one. nothing showed up excepted this discussion. Furthermore the official site has never showed this kinda model. What happened?! I got a fake one?

If when you enlarge the picture and it says Verilux on the bulb then it should be just that. Do not buy a knock off. I did once and it did not fit and fell out and broke.

From what I know yes. the Philips bulb works perfectly, I have had zero issues with it.

I have a brand new package of the same exact bulbs as these and my packaging does have the energy star label on it, however, I don't see it on the package that is on the amazon site. Everything else on the package is identical. I bought mine at costco.

No. The one I got was definitely not a genuine Sony lamp - the company told me that Sony doesn't actually produce their own lamps and that original ones are made by Bosch or someone (I don't remember now). But this one here is not original, and the one I got stopped working after turning it on twice. Do not buy it!! That's my recommendation at least...

Yes, it is an OEM bulb from Phillips. It has been working in my TV for over a year with no problems.

Sorry, did not see if brand name was on bulb. Lamp assembly was made in Mexico.

No, the bulbs that work with Philips Hue are specifically marked. This does not.

It's a knock off bulb, they just don't last like the Phillips bulbs do! Mines out and now I'm sitting without a tv again.

I bought this bulb and another similar priced bulb. Both had a dark red streak across the top. So I contacted Sony and bought their bulb for a lot more $. I am supposed to get in around 1/4. Bottom line - the cheaper replacement bulbs just didn't 't work for me. Good luck.
