I looked up the brand name and the size and was able to find it that way. My tv is a PT50LC14 so I just put that in the Amazon search.

I had the original manual which gives the correct replacement number. I purchased the bulb in the past from Panasonic and had no problem , it worked out its life. However, the company that Amazon connected me with does not make a good product , it's inferior! It did not work after numerous tries. Also I was a few days late in returning the product to Amazon and they would not help me retain a refund.

You should be able to find the spec / number in your TV's manual or you can do an internet search with the model number of your TV

I did a Google search for my model TV to find out what lamp I needed for my 61 inch DLP. Then I went to different sites to comparison shop. Amazon had the price and it was easy to install. Took only 5 minutes

Sorry, I do not know. When I used the bulb I did a google search of my tv and found that it was the correct lamp.

Hello Annette .... do you know which model KDF you have? Size? Model number? I am not an expert on these things but I will be glad to look it up for you and let you know for sure so that you do not buy the wrong thing. This lamp is a replacement for many models but without knowing 100% what your model is then I can't say. GOD bless and I look forward to hearing back from you soon my friend.

Finding replacement U-shaped florescent lamps can be tricky, because many of the larger home improvement stores tend to stock only those types that are purchased on a frequent basis. I would try Home Depot and Lowe's online first, then Google the lamp type, PL-S 13, and see what your browser brings up. Finally, Amazon's own listing includes the following advice: "TOLL FREE HOTLINE, 1-800-561-4321. If you have immediate questions about application, installation, troubleshooting, or a damaged component, please call CCI Consumer product hotline at 1-800-561-4321 or email questions to: consumer.service@colemancable.com".

Sorry I don't know but you can call Mitsubishi and ask them or look at you manual and it will tell you what lamp you need.

Order directly from Optoma. Do not use the variety cheap knock off kind. You will regret it. Most of these are bulb only and you must reuse your original housing. The Optoma replacement lamps are simple drop in and go. There model number is BL-FU185A for the lamp assembly. Here is a link and the price is not as severe as you might think. http://www.projectorlamps.com/optoma-projector-lamp-BL-FU185A.html?gclid=CJOCn-ys2LoCFa5r7AodUD0A3g

Your tv would have to be on 24 hours a day for about 200 days to equal 5000 hours. You can extend the life of the bulb by turning down the brighness and contrast. I have a 65' Mits DLP purchased in Dec 2006. Replaced the bulb (under a service plan from Circuit City) Feb 2009 at 4709 hours. Your mileage may vary. You can buy bulbs online. Depending on your set, $100 to $200. You can also order just the lamp, or the lamp and the housing that holds the lamp. Search for "mitsubishi dlp bulbs". https://www.dlplampsource.com/e-store/prod_details.asp?pcid=0&cid=1016175235037&pid=15115097157

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

Chang I am sorry but the TV is 60 miles from me so I cannot check. I can tell you the lamp stopped working fairly quickly after we purchased it and I am not planning on wasting any more money on a replacement.

It did not fit my Panasonic. My TV was not a cartridge type light. You can check in the back and see if yours is a pull out module. If it is it might just work. I ended up tossing the TV and buying a new one. Good luck.

It prob depends on your tv... Look up your tv model and see what type of lamp it needs!

Take a look in the back and see if the lamp is still working. If it's not it's supposedly easily replaceable.Have you had the concave screen problem I've had?

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.

yes ,it is ...i have 2 panasonic pt 60 lc14 and pt 60 lc 13 , when i replaced my first bulb on the pt lc 14 this bulb lasted around 5 years and i was lucky to have extended warranty on that tv , but sadly the replacement lamp that circuit city sent me last a little bit more than one year . after that i decided to buy a phillips lamp and i'm still using the same lamp .....no complaints about it...oh and i forgot ..i'm using this kind of lamp on my other tv too the pt60 lc13....good luck ..

I don't know. Mine is a 4400. I didn't think lamp replacement would be a problem - but it is! It seems that slides are obsolete! If you do replace the bulb, be careful putting it in. Wear gloves because even a microdrop of body oil will cause the wretched thing to explode. I found THAT out the hard way! If the cost of a Powerpoint projector ever gets reasonable, I guess I'll have to make the switch.
