This lamp comes with housing, correct?

It is the complete housing and not just the bulb. Just unscrew the two retaining housing screws, pull out old housing, insert new housing and secure and you are done. Whole thing takes less than a cuple of minutes. Then comes the fun part in going into the menu and adjusting your color settings and lamp timer if desired.

It comes with the housing. The only concern I have is whether the unit is brand new or used. My unit started acting up after about a week.

No, all you get is what you see, the lamp shade. The rest of the lamp, should have the framework that you will have to unscrew and place. I believe I had to Google information on putting it back together and it brought up pictures of how to do it. Mine was tight fitting but with a little patience and prayer I got it back together. Hope this helps. Ann D

Ironically, even though I bought this in April, I didn't try installing it until the day before your question arrived. The good news is that it is both the bulb and the housing. The bad news is that although the part number is the same one I purchased the last time I replaced the bulb, the housing didn't fit into the TV. I am in the process of trying to return the product or have somebody tell me why it didn't fit properly. Hope this helps. Nice TV though :O)

NO. It is an aftermarket lamp. If u want a Sony lamp it is going to be about $500.

Yes, it is. I am enjoying this lamp -- the head swivels if you wish to useindirect light.

I do recommend lamp with housing I believe its better beause you will never touch the bulb . I still used latex glove when installed

Yes...you only touch the housing when replacing...never the bulb as it is very sensitive.

Yes, the lamp I received included a bulb. By the way, we are very happy with the lamp, especially for the price.

It was when I got one. I bought one on Amazon when I bought the lamp. Problem is, I'll never use it. The thumb-screw that holds the cross-section of the lamp keeps failing. The lamp almost caused a concussion. I'm not using it and will never have use for the extra bulb. Though, if you already own the lamp and like it, and you need an extra bulb, it was very easy to buy on Amazon. If you do not yet own the lamp, don't buy it unless you want a concussion.

Your mileage may vary since there are a ton of different sellers advertising through this one listing. The one I got had the housing but it was broken. I ended up re-using the old housing and then returned the whole damn thing because it was crap (took a long time to warm up, wasn't very bright and flickered a lot). Do yourself a favor and buy a lamp through Tristatemodule.com. You'll pay a little more but you will definitely get a quality product.

I'm sorry I don't know what a housing unit is. The lamp is inside a protective plastic "case" with a handle to push it in and take it out - so maybe that is what you are talking about. All instructions say to not actually touch the lamp or you will damage it. Neither the instructions that came with the replacement lamp or in the operating instructions for the television mention a housing unit.

It is the correct lamp for that TV, BUT the housing is poorly made and has fitment issues. It ruined my TV, so be careful.

Yes, what you see is the lamp and housing make sure to clean out dust and use latex glove. When handling new one

I can not recommend this product. It lasted less than 45 days after I installed it. It did sit on my self for 6 months while the old bulb burned out, but it should have lasted longer than it did. I usually have them last 3 years or so. Yes, it did come with the housing.

The lamp comes complete. Add a bulb, plug it in and it is beautiful. Great price to look this expensive.
