V13H010L49 Replacement Projector Lamp with Housing for Epson Elplp49 PowerLite Home Cinema 8350 /PowerLite Home Cinema 8700UB 8500UB, H373A H336A PowerLite PC 9700UB 9500UB 9350 9100

Installed the lamp in an Epson H373A projector. Fit was good and it started with no problems. Will update review if there any problems but so far so good. The OEM lamp failed at 1500 hours.

First off: This makes my Epson 8350 beep. It's the faint beeping indicating the temp is too high or the lamp is drawing too much power (never did get a straight answer as to what causes it). It's annoying if you're seated close to the projector, but faint enough that it can be ignored if you sit further away (or you can just crank the TV volume up). AFAIK, there is no way to disable this beep or reduce its volume.If you can get past the beeping (which seems to be a problem with nearly every non-OEM lamp whose reviews I've read), this lamp worked as advertised. Was much brighter than the worn OEM lamp it replaced (which had about 2500 hours). It's currently at about 3500 hours, and began dimming recently. That exceeds the stated 3000 hour life. Pandemic 2020 meant I went through 3500 hours in 1 year, whereas the previous bulb took 7 years to get to 2500 hours (357 hours/yr). Dunno if the fact that it was on 10 hours a day impacted its lifespan. I will probably buy another as I don't want to invest too much more money into this projector before I replace it with a newer laser projector.TL;DR - Good budget bulb which works as advertised. If you can live with your projector doing the faint beeping for using a non-OEM bulb.

Totally amazing!!!! Great image, easy install, clear and bright and CHEAP 👍👍👍

The picture looked great for the 2.5 hours that the bulb actually worked. My wife commented that the picture looked great, even too bright. Perhaps, that was the problem because it completely burned out the second time that I turned the projector in. I had read the terrible reviews, but some seemed ok. I bought the warranty, just in case, but the bulb went out so quickly, that I simply returned the product rather than have to deal with replacing it under warranty.

Great bulb. Very bright and crisp picture. Hard to believe that our picture has improved so much with a bulb so reasonably priced. Great value for the money.

This bulb only made it to 340 hours before it started flickering too much to be watchable. Also, much of that time it made a high pitched noise that the original lamp and my new replacement lamp don't make. I put up with the noise and otherwise it worked fine, I just didn't expect to have to replace it so soon.

I inspected this well before I put it in, and was careful not to touch any of the glass ( oil from your skin can cause premature failure, even explosion/implosion on this or any other similar bulb ).Brightness and color restored.236 hours on it so far. If it makes it past 500 it's a great value, and anything over 1K it's steal

Although this bulb worked out of the box and was easy to install, I was somewhat disappointed by its brightness. It replaced a bulb that was still working, but had close to 4000 hours on it. This new bulb's brightness was only marginally better than the one it replaced. I had to use the dynamic mode on my Epson projector for it to have sufficient brightness even in a dark room.
