Might want to make sure the inside plastic cover is properly in place. I believe there is a switch that has to be made for this to work. Also make sure the vents in the back of the set are clean so that air can flow to prevent bulb from overheating

Mine is two years and still going strong. Try taking it out and reinstalling

I honestly don't know. I do know I've had to purchase a new bulb 4 years in a row, so I figured the cheaper the better. However since my last bulb purchase little white dot are appearing all over my screen. I did some research and the video card is going out. There is actually a lawsuit over the poor quality of these TVs. The video card is $200 plus shipping, so I'm cutting my losses and getting a new TV. I would suggest that all of you do the same!

Mine lasted 27 months, not sure if that is normal life of that bulb or not. Wife says OEM bulb lasted 5 years.

Hello, I ordered this bulb earlier this year and never did get a response back as to if I could exchange the bulb for really the correct one. So I gave up after a while. I have gone to home depot and replaced the bulb now. So not sure why I am getting this 6 months after the fact. Thank you!

Those bulbs last at least a year or two. You should get in touch with Verilux. You may have a faulty bulb.

One year. This is the original OEM bulb that Sony used in their projection TV. I got around 3 years life span.

We've had this exact TV for more than 6 years too, and finally had to replace our bulb a month ago. Like you, our picture started getting dim and we waited - within a week, we had no picture. (next time, we won't wait) We did research on bulb replacement and buying options, and concluded that the best way to go (for us) was to spend the money on an authentic replacement bulb. So we ordered the bulb kit directly from Mitsu parts. It came within a few days and the removal/install directions were clear - you need to be very careful handling these bulbs.

We purchased this replacement bulb in January 2013. Super easy to install. Has worked fine since installation. No idea of what warranty was.

I'm not sure about the warranty replacement bulb. Thankfully my bulb did not need to be replaced before one year it is still going strong. I would talk to the manufacturer if you have any concerns.

I had my light on 24/7 and the bulb lasted a year. I kept it on by "tricking" it with a remote control plug in (turning it off and on quickly). I could never remember to turn it off and on at a regular basis, so I just kept it on all the time. For some reason the remote overrode the motion detection, either that or the motion detection simply didn't work.

Thank you for the question. The bulb is rated for 25 years. If something happens to the bulb during the warranty period you can return it.

I have a 736, but it's the same bulb I use. I have always had good luck with the Philips bulbs - first one lasted almost 4 years (supposed life span of 18 months to 2 years) and the current one has been in for almost 2 years with no problems. Do it yourself replacement which is very easy makes it a very cost effective alternative to having a shop order a bulb and install it.

If you are just replacing the bulb, it was a very doable repair for me to complete on my own. I don't consider myself very handy, either. The replacement bulb we got from Amazon has lasted about 9 months so far. That said, I'm not sure what Panasonic is offering you. You may want to compare what they are offering you to how much it would take for you to replace your television with a newer model.

Actually my experience with this lamp was awful. The bulb as far as I remember about 4 months but that is not the problem. The lamp stopped working. Just like that. Good looking lamp but that is all.

When my TV went off and on after 8 years, the technician found out that the original bulb was the cause. He replaced it with a spare Pureglare bulb that I had bought via Amazon to fix the problem but that did not work. He then installed an original and expensive Sony bulb and the problem was solved. The never used Pureglare bulb was dumped.

not sure, I have had no issues with the replacement bulb for over 5yrs and the TV is on pretty much on all day every day. easily in use 15hrs a day. It is a terrific product! I am sure you could contact the company to see if there is some type of warranty on it, which I am sure there is. don't hesitate to get this bulb! It is far better in all aspects than the bulb that came with the TV from factory. you will be surprised at the difference in clarity and sharpness of picture and colors compared to the stock bulb from Sony. you wont be disappointed.
