XL2100U (XL2100) WEGA TV Lamp

Philips, the self-proclaimed inventor of UHP technology has decided to sell lamps directly to consumers.  You’ll find their ad when you search online, it appears they are only bidding to show on searches done on Google.

While they may be the originator of the technology which powers DLP lamps, their pricing is horrible.  They charge $169 for an XL-2100U lamp when you can pick one up for $95.  The pricing is probably a result of the agreements Philips has with other companies who sell their product.

The decision to replace the lamp or the bulb for the Sony XL2100U can be difficult. You have to consider the cost difference of both. During our research, we discovered that replacing the bulb inside is less expensive than buying a complete lamp with the housing. If you feel comfortable taking a lamp apart and putting it back together it may be well worth the $30 dollar savings. If not, you should consider picking up a replacement XL-2100U lamp.

You can find a wide selection of replacement Sony XL-2100U lamps at our parent site, XL2100U-Lamp.com.

With so many video dedicated to how to properly install a Sony XL-2100U lamp, we wanted to make sure we also covered some reliable sources to purchase a replacement lamp.

Now, Suburban-elect advertises that you can get a XL2100U bulb for 109, but the problem is that you only get the bulb.  If you want to do the work of installing it in the housing from your old lamp, then it’s great but for most people it isn’t the ideal scenario.
