I bought this unit; however when I received it, I noticed that it is made in Mexico, and the same unit as some of the ones on the web which are selling about $35 :-( You should buy the Philips tube and install it in the assembly for best results, and to be sure that you are getting the best component.

Can not tell you if it is a Osram-Neoluz or Osram-VIP. not OEM, its made in China (like everything ),I have two sony rear projection sets. I replaced the smaller set about 3 years ago with oem ($200.00) When the 55 inch went i was happy, time for a new flat screen. I picked up the lowest cost replacement bulb I could find as a temp fix. I might just have to wait another 7 years. TV screen looks like new for a little more than 10% of the cost of an OEM. I was informed by Sony that the original Phillips bulb is no longer avalible and that if order through them I would receive one manufactured from another source. (let me guess China).

Phillips is a well known brand you know you are receiving a product from a firm company that will respond if you receive a defective bulb. I cannot speak out for osram because I have not heard of it. However my Phillips bulb I ordered did the job I did have to adjust the brightness to some degree but nevertheless it did get my TV back in operation. It did come with the housing and everything it promised.

I thnk it was a 90 day warranty. Bulb is working just fine 4 mnths in although there has been 2 glitches but harmless. Dust will be able to settle on this bulb verses the manufa cterers bulb but it will run cooler. We will see in time but no worries yet.

Yes the lamp is rated at 6000 hours.The housing is made with both plastic and metal. Look at the picture and you will see.

Yes...I purchased one in January and it was an OSRAM bulb. Not sure if it was P-VIP however.

Not sure about the warranty. Might be 90 days. Bulb has been working perfectly now for about 120 days. Had previoulsy purchased one of the knockoff bulbs and it lasted less than 6 months. This phillips is a better replacement.

I'm guessing you didn't buy an OEM lamp. The cheap lamps don't work and will do that. Try an OEM bulb. I realize this is an old question but thought the answer would help others having the same issue. Only buy Osram or Philips bulbs.

I concur with Havilla. First time I replaced the bulb for my Sony TV, I bought it directly from Sony although the bulb shows it was made by Phillips and cost me about $160. It lasted about 5 yrs. The second time I need to replaced the bulb again, I got cheap and bought just the generic bulb which I realized has 2000 hrs life for $29.00. The bulb lasted less than 2 yrs. Third time the same TV needed to replaced the bulb, this time I chose a Phillips brand (just the bulb), per the maker, its has 6000 hrs. Hopefully the warranty speaks for itself not the Amazon.San Juan

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

The light bulb is halogen and it is reported to have a life span of 4000 hrs. It is replaceable with a designated halogen light bulb from Phillips.

Mine did the same thing, after about 20-30 hours of use it stopped. The bulb will also occasionally flicker, though this didn't begin until it reached about 500 hours. For the money, I had no real complaints, but if you can afford it, I would go for the factory original...... most of these aftermarket bulbs do odd things, and rarely do they work perfectly out the box.

Sorry, Bill. I don't remember the rated life span, but they have been installed now for several months with no issues at all, and I usually only got about four months from a filament bulb in the night lite.

I purchased this lamp October of 2013 and it has worked fine so far. The item as you can see is sold by Dynamic Lamps and my bulb came with a a warranty card but I can't say if the bulb is a genuine Sony product or an approved Sony replacement. It is the correct Sony part number recommended in the manual and it is still working very well. When I purchased this bulb the price was $84.99 plus $5.49 S&H.; At the price being offered of $46.46 as of this date 08/05/2014, I may just order a spare. Hope this helps.
