Don't buy that cause its cheap get the Sony little more money but better than the knock off brand. Mine only lasted 8 months we bought the Sony much better picture

Never had a problem!! My lamp (knock wood) has worked perfectly since I installed it. My old bulb was not completely burned out so I saved it in the box for next time. If you have the old bulb re-install it and see if it too flickers. If it does there is a problem with the set. If it doesn't there is a problem with the new bulb. Best advice I can give.

No there is nothing you are doing wrong as long as you know the lamp works so should the bulb. It looks like you have recived a faulty bulb just as i did.

When our lamp went, nothing worked (no picture,no sound) and a little green indicator light for "lamp" was on. I bought this lamp and it worked for a brief time but it then the same thing happened. It was within the 30 days so I was able to return it to Amazon. Then I went to Mitsubishi site and bought one of theirs and it works great now, (so far, but it hasn't been that long). It cost $280 (with shipping).

Is this the 1st time you have used the lamp? I ended up purchasing replacement bulbs only to find out the problem was a wire had come loose in the lamp itself.

Hi Chew, I haven't had mine in for too long, perhaps 8 months to a year, but it's still working. I suggest that when you do install a new lamp, you reduce the 'contrast' to save the lamp's life a bit.As for which one fits your TV, I don't know what model TV you have. You can find that info in the User's Manual. If you don't have a User's Manual, you can download one from the TV manufacturer's website.

My TV had the same problem. I decided it didn't probably matter and bought it. However, Amazon a actually sent me the wrong model of lamp, which didn't fit in the tv. I ended up taking the new lamp apart and putting the bulb itself in the old lamp. It was quite easy, just a few screws.Regardless, I still think the p does not matter, especially because many sites seem to use the two interchangeably. I'd say buy it.

Maybe you have a defective lamp ...we did not have any issues and it still functions perfectly after a year. Call Amazon and they will issue a return form....best of luck with the replacement! Follow the instructions and you should be happy with the lamp!!

So, mine has started doing the same thing. It has been months since I replaced mine and it is just now flickering. My guess is that the bulb is just cheaply made and not a true Factory bulb. For as cheap as the bulb was I wouldn't expect much over a year out of it but the flickering is pretty annoying. I don't know of a fix other than getting a new bulb.

Same thing happened to mine. Waste of money, lamp was useless, threw it away

Yes, all four of mine flickered. I sent them back. I had a set of Philips LED bulbs in the same sockets and they never flickered, so I'm replacing these with another set of Philips LED bulbs. I suspect if your lights were flickering then you have voltage inconsistencies in your house (even though you didn't have them on a dimmable switch) and a bulb marked "dimmable" will probably be able to handle it without flickering.

Mary - we haven't had that issue at all with our unit. I would test it in a different wall socket and see if the issue repeats itself. If so, I would replace the bulb and, if your lamp strobes again, I think you have sufficient evidence to point to a flaw in the device. Best of luck. Hope you get it going well enough - my wife is delighted with ours. Joe

The first lamp I purchased had one bank of LEDs flicker and go off periodically after the first 60 days of use, but never all of the LEDs. Your unit sounds defective. I had to contact the manufacturer about my flickering bank of LEDs. They were very helpful, and in my case they sent a replacement lamp.

I had the same problem. It turns out there is a micro switch which tells the TV if the lamp housing is seated properly. Over time the micorswitch develops "slack" . Once you figure out where the micro switch is you can fix it by simply putting small peices of electrical tape on the lamp housing in the correct location. If you do a Google Search of the TV model and blinking 6 times; you'll find lots of articles to help you locate that switch. Apparently it's a common problem.

May ask for a refund due to that it was only a month ago. When I replace our TV Lamp we got a good lamp for the TV and still working today. I think they may have send a bad lamp they should send you a lamp for free and give your money back due to information you give me for good customer service. Sorry to hear that. Here is a customer number for amazon live person to talk to U.S. and Canada: 1-866-216-1072Spanish Support: 866-749-7538

I don't have this problem, but it sounds like you have an electrical short in the lamp. I would return it. Good luck.

This lamp has been working great on my Panasonic so far. I don't think it is the lamp causing this problem and it could be something else.

Yes, one of our lamps flicker every once in a while, but eventually turn on. We bought the last lamp from Amazon for parts. We have six of these and the lamps fail often. There is no customer service for parts. I call the number listed, leave a message, and no reply.
