NORMAL DISCLAIMER:
— Do NOT purchase generic brand lamps such as LTI, APO or third-party manufacturers such as OSRAM. These lamps were NOT engineered with and for your TV…only your Philips lamp has been engineered to work flawlessly and output the best possible color. Above that, it just doesn’t make sense to choose an aftermarket lamp for a $5-$10 difference (and in many cases they are more expensive!!). Be a smart consumer and do your research! Discount-Merchant.com promises to be the low price leader in all Projection TV Lamps they carry…if this is not true, let us know and we’ll fix it!

Necessities:

1. Standard Philips & Flathead screwdrivers
2. Pair of Pliers
3. A new Philips Lamp
4. 15 minutes of your time

IMPORTANT: The bulb should be handled with a clean cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…this is a no-no for these lamps. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…

Here is the Samsung Lamp Enclosure, remember you can click on any image to enlarge!

Step 1: First thing we need to take off the pastic back part of the enclosure by removing the screws above…

Gently pull off the plastic cage to reveal your Philips lamp…here’s a close up picture.

Now we need to remove the nut and the screw of the connector shown below…We use a standard set of pliers with the nut and your good old Phillips screwdriver...

Once the enclosure is separated from the lamp, we start to take the lamp out by removing the two screws holding the metal clips in place...

Now you should be able to slide the lamp out of the enclosure…

Here are some good photos of your old PHILIPS lamp and the new PHILIPS lamp that we will be replacing it with. Remember not to mix them up... Sometimes it is very hard to tell the difference between a bad lamp and a good lamp. If you get mixed up you will have to physically try both lamps in your TV.

***Technicians: Don't bother checking for CONTINUITY becuase ALL UHP LAMPS WILL FAIL CONTINUITY TESTS as the lamps have a "firing gap" in the filament (similar to a car's spark plug).

Now it’s re-assembly time! Let’s put in the new lamp and screw it into the enclosure!

Now let's connect the terminals back on to the lamp and close up the enclosure!

NOTE: Be careful when screwing-in the side connector on to your new lamp. It’s best to hand torque as this terminal is very sensitive and might break with a lot of torque.

Here we go... Let's just put back the top screws of the plastic enclosure and get ready to watch some TV!

Your all done…10-15 mins MAX!

IMPORTANT: The bulb should be handled with a clean cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…this is a no-no for these lamps. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…
