The material used for lamps in DLP/LCD projectin tv's are generally PPS-40GF or PPS-30GF .. Which means they have 30% or 40% Glass Fiber. These casings are extremely heat resistant and long lasting. They are also bad for the economy if they are not recycled properly. If you can find a "lamp only" and save some money, by all means go for it! If not, be sure to recycle your lamp case in order to preserve the earth! A reputable dealer/seller will include a FREE return label with their lamp and enclosure. That means THEY pay for recycling your bad parts. I know http://www.discount-merchant.com is one of them. They sell the cheapest lamps on the net and our service center has buys regularly. They DO include the return label for the used casing and bad lamp. The "brittle" story is a myth by someone trying to sell their product over another. VipGuy,

Shoot me a link to the post that talks about JVC’s recommendation against "rebulbing."  While I can see that it’s a valid argument, I disagree.

Typically the UHP lamp enclosures are manufactured using a very strong compound…usually Polyphenylene Sulfide (PPS), with a Glass Fiber content of 40%.  The picture below shows some of the specs of typical application: bottom-line: the plastic compound can resist heat in excess of 510 °F and has the strength and feel of metal!

With over 5 years experience in refurbishing JVC, Samsung, Akai, RCA, and Mitsubishi DLP/D-ILA (and comparable) TVs, we haven’t (to my knowledge) encountered any cracked enclosures. And we’re talking about servicing over 5,000 TV sets! If anyone has encountered such a failure it would be interesting to hear about it and we would be more than willing to do some analysis on the enclosure compound.

The lamp alignment is also not an issue.  Open your plastic housing…it’s fabricated for exact fitment of the lamp!

They claim that the plastic gets brittle over time & could break. They claim it's also possible to get the bulb in the housing misaligned which would cause problems with the TV picture. Do you think there is any truth to this & would be best to pay additional to buy the bulb & the enclosure together? Or is this just a sales pitch?
