Epson USA for free replace the lamps in my case, but not Epson Europe. I have no difference of life or quality of light between an Epson lamp and another white one product. So why buy an Epson lamp manufacturer selling to a non-compliant with their descriptions products with a European branch refusing to admit mistakes and compensate? Especially when the Epson product costs more than four times more expensive than the white product?
The lamp has arrived in perfect condition, well packed and delivered in three days after ordering. I have seen no lighting failure, but I only used for about ten hours. So I can not comment on its life. At this point, I am very satisfied and I can only advise.
