This lamp is genuine, OEM or OEM compatible?

Not OEM! This is a cheap replacement that will likely fail within 3 months or just after the warranty expires. Look elsewhere.

Hi Nick we sell lamps against this listing, and if you buy from us then I can tell you that the lamp is not an Osram. We do however source from an ISO9001 accredited manufacturer and have hundreds of satisfied customers for this lamp. It also comes with a 90 day warranty. Andy - Projector Lamp Genie

Mine was genuine. I put it in a 1920's floor reading lamp which suites my Victorian home better than something modern and use it for hand sewing.

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...

I'm guessing you didn't buy an OEM lamp. The cheap lamps don't work and will do that. Try an OEM bulb. I realize this is an old question but thought the answer would help others having the same issue. Only buy Osram or Philips bulbs.

I'm selling this exact one on eBay. Works perfect but a couple of the lamps are burned out.

This lamp came to me as defective. I had it checked out by an authorized repair man. I would not advise purchasing this item.

Mine was OEM. Typically anything that says ships and sold by amazon.com is authentic products.

sony lamps will come with the entire housing in addition to the bulb. my experience has been that any of the ones you see on amazon going for $50/$60 are fakes and will burn out within a few months. if it's that cheap, it's not going to be a OEM part. i wouldn't trust any of the ones on amazon going for less than about $90.

yes it is genuine unless it is a great fake, OEM means original equipment manufacturer

Actually it is not although, for the price, it is paired perfect. It's been a few months since I installed it (which was very easy) and obviously since the picture is so much sharper the lamp was going for awhile. I would recommend this replacement - for the money - if it only lasts a year it's certainly better than 2K for a new TV!

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

Good Morning Omar:Yes, the light bulb appears to be the exact lamp that came installed in the truck. Make sure you remove the plastic cover over the lamp seat before installing the lamps. If you do this, you will have no problem. This is a good aftermarket lamp and helped to make my truck look great. The old lamps (both) were working but very glazed over. I recommend this replacement lamp. I hope this helps you make your decision. Happy Thanks Giving from Louisiana....Dan

I have had poor luck with the filters being included unless the seller is identified as Sony directly. Filters are included with genuine Sony parts. Otherwise it is an OEM equivalent lamp, which generally do not last as long.

I don't know. The two lamps that I purchased appear to be identical. I have not compared the actual numbers. I am happy with both.
