Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Sony XL210060 - Projection TV replacement lamp
Customer Review: Before you replace your bulb/lamp -- try cleaning the light path!
Summary: 4 Stars
I've had my 50" Sony since May 2004. After the first early warranty replacement of the lamp just a few months in, the technician gave me the secret to maximizing lamp life: after watching TV, change the video input to a component that is off, but leave the TV on (with a black screen) for at least ½ hour to give the lamp more cooling time because the fan run-time of 2 minutes (as designed) is insufficient. He said that the TV lamps in sports bars that run 12 hours a day last for years.
Today, 6 years later, I finally noticed a blue "blob" that stays in one particular spot on the screen, and occasionally migrates to another part of the screen and stays there for awhile. I also suspected that the screen was getting dimmer overall. I ordered the replacement lamp with casing, figuring that once I had 2 lamp+housing assemblies to look at I would attempt a lamp-only replacement the next time it needs one.
After reading the lamp block (sans housing) Sony LAMP BLOCK XL2100U review by Bruce Chamberlin describing the green "blob" he was able to fix, I looked for smudges inside my own unit. With a flashlight I could see that the square-faceted reflector facing the lamp assembly had what looked like fog on it. A Q-tip wetted with alcohol took off some of the "fog" which was black. I used a Wipe `N Clear lens wipe (comes pre-wetted) to clean it, then used another dry Q-tip to get rid of smears. I cleaned the lens of the housing (that the lamp shines through) the same way. Finally, I vacuumed out inside the TV any remaining fibers and dust that I could reach. To test the cleaning alone, I re-installed the current bulb. The TV picture is now significantly brighter, and while the blue blob has not gone away completely, it is less intense and a different shape. I suspect with another cleaning of the lens and/or the reflector, I might be able to eliminate the blob.
So at this point I cannot comment on the quality of the Osram bulb, since I haven't needed to install it yet. I rated it 4/5 stars because I had to use my own 3mm allen wrench (not included). NOTE: My TV may have had an Osram from the factory, but the replacement bulb that the technician used when the TV was new happens to be a Philips from Belgium. I was told once that parts off the production line which test as being superior quality get the Philips name, and the parts that don't quite make the cut are given the lesser brand name (can't recall the brand). Anyway, that's why I'm giving the Philips lamp another chance. Also, for anyone interested, the Philips lamp has a bright blue tint all around the perimeter of the bulb. I don't know if it has always been that color or if it is discoloration that occurs with age.
