Does this projector come with a working bulb installed? If so, how many estimated hours of life are left?

yes - it came with a lamp - was installed in a church so don't know remaining hours - only in use for about 4 months - they are happy with the pair of them

Yes. We used it in our church three times a weak on a not very friendly user lighted area and it works tremendously. Best we ever owned

Easy! The bulbs last forever basically, when your bulb starts to go out you will start to notice it becoming dimmer and dimmer. Slap in a brand new bulb and your projector is like new again! Plus its a special kind of high powered bulb.

Gayle, I don't know the answer to your question. I determined what replacement bulb to order from the existing one that had burned out. You might Google your projector and see if you can access the information that you seek. Sorry I can't help.

Thanks for your prompt reply - I actually already own this item! After years of use, the bulb has burned out and I'm tying to determine if it can be replaced. I'm disappointed with the short lifespan of the item, but I wasn't necessarily disappointed with the performance. With the proper room placement, focus of the lens, and assurance that there was no light polution, the item performed quite well. Until it died, of course!

I have not used this lamp yet, still in box. The original lamp that came with my EPSON projector, Cinema pro 1080 only lasted 1150 hours. Very happy with EPSON service, outstanding, but would like to see LED based replacement lamps. Longer life, lower power useage and less heat generated.

According to Epson:Q:How long should the projection lamp last in normal operation?A:The projection lamp lasts up to about 4000 hours, depending on the selected Power Consumption setting and other factors. You can use the Info menu to check how long it's been in use. See Checking the Projector Status.

Yes Sir. bought my projector in july 2012, replaced the bulb in about october 2013. It took me FOREVER to get the top cover off but I finally got it to pop off. Easy install , but do be careful. I could notice a brighter image right away, but the "change bulb" indicator light still flashes, I just ignore it. This is a great deal for this bulb, you're getting it for like 30% original cost. Good luck.

Yes it does. I have been using it on mine for over 101 hours now. I did get a strange problem with it once or twice where the projector would not light up and the lamp warning light would come on. I just powered the projector off and on and it worked fine after that.

Paul,Yes this lamp is really good. My recommendation is that you always reset the counter of hours on your projector before you change the lamp. Panasonic has set up the system so it stops working after 2000 hours, but if you reset the counter you can use your old amp for an extra 500 to 1000 hours ...

Maybe but good luck finding an actual model number for it because this is a no name projector spend a little bit more and get a viewsonic. Easily replaceable bulbs and name brand you can trust.

The package says 2000 hours. For the most part we have found that to be true. We have 18 of these in our new home. Occassionally you will get a dud. Just call Phillips for a replacement bulb.

Not that I can see, but who cares. LED Bulb should last ten thousand hours plus, And for the twelve dollars I bought it for, I think it's a bargain!

the question isn't completely applicable. There are no "bulbs". this is an LED fixture. There are many (25? more?) LEDs in the fixture. Any individual LED might fail over 10,000 hours or more. The fixture might be expected to serve for 30,000 hrs, 50,000 hrs - read the description.

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

The projector came with just the lamp that is used. The lamp replacement must be purchased separately.

I do not see the estimated life anywhere in the advertising, I have had this bulb last as long as 4 years at an average of 12 hours per day.

Yes, it comes with a bulb installed in the projector, but not a spare bulb - i.e., you get 1 bulb only.
