End of life

Be prepared with an authentic projector lamp

Generic “compatible” lamps may appear to be a bargain–however generic knock-off lamps are actually not that great a bargain. These are NOT authentic lamps and should be avoided for the following reasons:

• shorter lamp life than original lamps
• toxic materials and carcinogenic parts including Krypton-85
• prone to explosions
• incompatibility causing damage to the sensitive electronics in your projectors
• no guarantee or refunds when you buy from a reseller

The few dollars you save with generic “compatible” lamps is not worth it in the long run.  Save yourself unnecessary headaches — buy an Acer EC.J9000.001 projector lamp from a recognized dealer. You’ll be getting a far superior product with a replacement guarantee and tech support.
