Since my Epson 4400 down to the current lamp 3000 hours, I ordered a precautionary measure a new one. Now for the first time, after two original lamps, a replica. The price is much cheaper and the light output comparable to a new original Epson / Osram lamp. Unfortunately, since the installation flows a very unpleasant smell coming from the air vents. A mixture of chemicals and burnt metal. So far, the beamer was something 5 hours of the new lamp. Perhaps the smell passes yet, but if it stays that way must return the lamp. I have briefly incorporated the old Epson lamp and the smell was gone immediately. Is therefore definitely to the new replica.
Unfortunately I had the product but now devalue. Although the smell is gone, but after nearly 90 hours, the light output changes every 1-2 seconds. The image is so dark-light-dark etc .. After installing the original lamp, the effect was immediately gone. Thus, if the lamp. Schade, the price was right. But just 90 hours of running without power failures are not enough.
