The lamp bricked my projector with a spark-inducing POP. Infuriatingly, though perhaps inevitably, Lamps Direct claimed it to be a problem with the projector itself, despite it having functioned brilliantly for years. After then seeing their tragic rating on Trustpilot about suspect lamps (which I wish I had seen earlier) and being told that my postage (x2) wouldn't be refunded "because it's a return-to-base warranty", I had to accept that I paid out two lots of postage just to have my projector destroyed, not to mention the cost of a replacement projector on top. Beware!
