Step 2: Buy authentic BenQ 9E.Y1301.001 lamps

The Internet has been flooded with companies selling projector lamps. Many advertised their lamps as “generic and compatible” — a euphemism for a knock-off, copycat technology that produces an inferior and dangerous product. Don’t believe the cheap prices you see as there are hidden costs to installing generic lamps.

You get what you pay for and in the case of generic lamps it’s usually a long list of problems. Generic lamps look like a great bargain but these knock-off lamps are created with inferior materials making them susceptible to explosions when installed and they can damage the sensitive components in your BenQ MP512 projector. They’ve been created using toxic substances such as Krypton-85 (which is carcinogenic to humans). “Compatible” lamps also have a shorter life span so can actually cost more money in the long run.

Buying authentic guarantees a projector lamp created with genuine, non-hazardous materials by the original manufacturer. These lamps come with money-back guarantee and keeps your warranty entact. It’s worth the few extra dollars to eliminate potential problems and have a lamp built to work properly with your BenQ MP624 sensitive mechanisms.

Buy an authentic BenQ 9E.Y1301.001 projector lamp and save yourself unnecessary headaches.

Step 3: Install a new BenQ 9E.Y1301.001 lamp

Before changing the BenQ 9E.Y1301.001 lamp:

  • Reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting the power cord on the MP512 projector.

Keep your DLP projector in good shapeYour DLP projector will give you many hours of operation with a crisp, clear picture.

Here are some basic tips to keep your projector in top condition so it can continue to perform for you.

  • Read the manual. It’s filled with helpful tips on how to operate your projector.
  • Always – remove the lens cap and open the shitter when the projector has been turned on.
  • Use a power bar, surge protector or power stabilizer to prevent any electrical surges from ruining the projector. The projector is designed to operate between 100 to 240 volts AC.
  • Make the projector has plenty of room. Never block the projection lens vents with objects. This can cause the objects to melt or even catch fire since the projector operates under high heat.
  • Never cover it with a blanket or cloth when it’s operating. Never place the projector on a blanket or soft service, particularly one that can melt.
  • Make sure the projector is on stable table or stand. If the projector falls it could be badly damaged.
  • Always operate the projector on a level horizontal surface. If the projector is not fully horizontal this may cause damage to the lamp. Don’t tilt at more that an 10 degree angle left to right nor at an angle more than 15 degrees front to back.
  • Allow at least 50 cm clearance from walls and a free flow of air around the projector.
  • Do not stand the projector on end vertically. It can fall over and damage the projector and cause injury
  • Use a proper kit to install the projector from the ceiling.
  • The heated air and slight odor from the projector is normal when it starts running.
  • Avoid looking into the projector lens when it’s in operation. The intense beam from the light can damage your eyes.
  • Keep the air filters clean of dust and debris. Since the lamp operates under high heat, there is an inside fan that cools off the projector. When the air filters and vents are blocked the projector can overheat and cause the lamp to explode.
  • If the lamp becomes extremely hot, the warning sign will come on. Consult your manual for the exact warning color and indicator. Allow it to cool for 45 minutes before operating it again.
  • Change the projector lamp immediately when it has reached end of life. You’ll see warning messages on screen and the Lamp Indicator will start blinking. Never operate with a lamp that is finished. This can damaged your projector beyond repair.
  • Always unplug the projector before replacing the lamp, cleaning the filters or replacing any other electronic components.
  • Remove only the lamp cover to replace the lamp. Do not attempt to take the cover off any other parts of the projector as you could come in contact with live electrical parts with dangerous high voltages. Take your projector into a qualified service repair technician for maintenance.
  • Do not store the projector where it will be subject to high temperatures above 40°C / 104°F, excessive humidity, dust or smoke, near fire alarms or in locations where the altitudes are higher than 3000 m (10000 feet). 12.

Seal_of_approval_from_Philip_authentic_projector _lamps

Only a few companies sell authentic projector lamps. Make sure you’re buying  from a recognized authorized dealer.

The Internet has been flooded with companies selling “generic” projector lamps. Many claim to be compatible with your projector. Only a few companies actually are selling OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer) that are genuine.

It may be tempting to buy a cheaper generic replacement  but that may end up costing you more in the long run.

DLP lamps sophisticated technology

DLP Projectors use high pressure to generate light and this pressure needs to be controlled inside the lamp.  Authentic projector lamps have been calibrated to the exact wattage. Generic lamps have not designed to handle the subtleties in wattage and pressure. They give off either too much wattage so are prone to overheating and explosions. When generic lamps also give off too little pressure the result is low light and poor picture quality.

 

 

 Beware_generic_lamps_authentic_projector _lamps

Not all lamps are equal

The official brand lamp manufactured by Philips Lighting handles over 60% of the projector lamp market. They’ve spent millions of dollars creating a product that works with the sophisticated mechanism in various projector brands. These lamps are also created with the highest safety standards and with the correct materials. Generic lamps are usually thrown together in order to sell quickly.

Look for the seal of approval

When you purchase from an authorized manufacturer and dealer, you know you’re receiving a Philips bulb that is reliable, durable and safe. Philips gives select companies its Global Premium Partner status. This seal of approval guarantees that the company is selling high quality lamps guaranteed to deliver the best performance while protecting your health and your projector.

Generic brands sold through the Internet can’t offer this kind of guarantee, particularly those manufactured in China, where the standards are lower and regulations not as strict. Installing a cheaper brand may actually damage other sensitive components connected to your projectors operating system. You may also find your warranty has become void after installing these third-party parts.

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

 

6 good reasons to avoid generics

BenQ_PB8240_projector_BenQ_65.J4002.001_projector_lampFollow our guide to replace the BenQ 65.J4002.001 projector lamp in your BenQ PB8240 projector in 3 easy steps.

Step 1: Be prepared — buy an authentic projector lamp

Be ready to replace the lamp by first buying the correct BenQ 65.J4002.001 projector lamp for your BenQ PB8240 projector.

At first glance, a generic compatible projector lamp seems like an incredible bargain. But when you factor in their shorter life spans and poor illumination along with other problems, these lamps actually end up costing more in the long run. These are NOT authentic lamps and should be avoided for the following reasons:

Step 2: Know when to replace the projector lamp

You can expect up to 3000 hours with a new BenQ 65.J4002.001 projector lamp IF you buy from an authentic OEM from an authorized dealer.

Warning Messages

BenQ_PB8250_1980_hours_projector_lamp warning, BenQ 65.J4002.001

First warning: The BenQ 65.J4002.001 has been in operation for 1980 hours. If the projector is being run in Economic Mode you may continue until the second warning at 2980 hours at which time a second warning will appear.

 

BenQ_PB8250_2980_hours_projector_lamp warning, BenQ 65.J4002.001Second warning : The BenQ PB8240 projector power will shutdown in 20 hours time. Replace the BenQ 65.J4002.001 lamp immediately.

 

BenQ_PB8250_3000_hours_projector_lamp warning, BenQ 65.J4002.001Final warning: This message will flash in the screen’s center at 3000 hours and the Lamp Indicator will light up red for 40 seconds before the BenQ PB8240 projector shuts down. The projector will not turn on until the BenQ 65.J4002.001 lamp has been replaced.

Step 3: Replace the BenQ 65.J4002.001 projector lamp

Before changing the lamp:

  • Reduce the risk of electrical shock by disconnecting the power cord on the BenQ PB8240 projector.

  • Turn the power off and disconnect the BenQ PB8240 projector.
