Broken Projector Bulb? Blown Television Bulb? Need to Replace a Projector Lamp? The bulb or lamp is Discontinued or there’s no stock anywhere? |
Relamping your existing projector bulb assembly can save you 30% or more, and will help to protect the environment from the harmful effects of Mercury. And when your projector is old and the lamp has been discontinued, or simply there is no stock of this lamp anywhere, relamping is a sound alternative.
Our Relamping Partner was established in 1997 with a focus on "Maximizing Usable Light Delivery." In an effort to perpetuate and strengthen this focus as well as address a growing need in the AV market, they developed a process by which spent LCD projector lamps, DLP projector lamps and rear projection television (RPTV) lamp cages can be refurbished and recycled. They utilize their extensive knowledge of DLP and LCD light sources to provide remanufacturing and recycling services for the Audio Visual and projection industries. Their projector bulbs are re-lamped in such a way as to make recycling mercury bulbs environmentally friendly and replacing projector bulbs cost effective.
The A/V projection industry has seen consistently decreasing manufacturing costs in all but one area, the projector lamp. There are video projectors now available for under $1,000; but if the projector bulb expires, it may cost $400- $1000 to replace it. If this trend continues, it may soon be sensible to purchase a new projector rather than a new replacement bulb when the projector light bulb dies. Their re-lamping procedure refurbishes your projector or television's original DLP or LCD lamp assembly, and replaces the blown bulb with a new projector bulb.
Using remanufactured projector lamps cuts both replacement lamp cost and projector or TV down time. At this time, the demand for projector replacement lamps is starting to exceed the supply. They keep a wide variety of replacement projector bulbs available, allowing them to keep lead-time to a minimum while being able to service most projectors on the market. Their re-lamping process has been developed and tested to ensure optimal lamp performance, low cost and quick delivery.
Send your spent projector lamp housing from your DLP or LCD front projector or rear projection TV, to the address we will provide you after you place your order. This is one of the few components that is user replaceable, and therefore will not be difficult to remove (see your owner's manual for instruction about removing the lamp housing). We will then ship it to our partner's laboratory, and they will recycle your old projector lamp, also called a projector bulb (which contains mercury), and refurbish the remaining lamp housing with a new projector bulb. Their trained engineers have perfected the process of aligning and testing the bulbs so that the output of the remanufactured projector lamps is the same as the original. Additionally, this process has been evaluated and qualified so that we can offer you a full 90 day warranty on all refurbished lamp assemblies. |
Lamp recycling |
In addition to the cost benefit of re-lamping, this service includes the recycling of spent projector lamps in accordance with federal and state mandates. To reduce environmental contamination, they have made it easy and convenient to recycle. Fines for not properly disposing of these mercury lamps can be a costly inconvenience. Therefore, even if you do not wish to use our re-lamping service, we invite you to send us your spent projector lamp housings so that we may recycle the components properly. There is no charge for our recycling service. |
The Benefits of Re-lamping Projector Lamp Modules |
COST | Re-lamping
keeps lamp replacement costs down by re-using your existing lamp housing
while replacing the bulb.
|
RECYCLING | Re-lamping helps to eliminate the cost of lamp recycling because eele will handle all Mecury and component recycling. Projector lamps contain Mercury, a highly toxic chemical that, by law, must be disposed of properly. eele has initiated an in-house Mercury recycling center. |
EXTEND PROJECTOR LIFE | Discontinued projectors can be re-lamped, even if the standard replacement lamps are unavailable. |
PROTECT YOUR
INVESTMENT | The average life of a television is 11.4 years. With new TV models coming out yearly, and the old being discontinued, re-lamping is invaluable. Being able to re-lamp your rear projection television module helps prevent premature obsolescence. |
WARRANTY | eele provides a standard 90-DAY WARRANTY for all re-lamped units. |
TURNAROUND | Keeping all re-lamping materials and technicians in house allows eele to minimize lead-time and maximize output. Often, standard replacement lamps are on backorder or are completely unavailable. eele's process usually takes less than one week. |
The Relamping Process |
Effectively,
the relamping process can be broken down into five key stages:
1) The relamping laboratory receives and evaluates the customer's spent
lamp assembly.
2) The lamp is disassembled by the relamping laboratory.
3) The spent burner is replaced by a trained technician. At this time
additional components are replaced or repaired as necessary and waste is
recycled. The laboratory also has the capabilities to replace reflectors
and repair lamp cages.
4) The burner is aligned by an eele engineer according to specifications.
5) The reassembled lamp is tested for functionality. If the unit fails, it
is sent back to manufacturing for further evaluation. However, if the test
is successful, the lamp is returned to the customer, ready for use |
Extending Lamp Life |
1. Do not handle the lamp without gloves. Oils and deposits from hands and fingers can cause hot spots, which may
result in premature lamp failure.
2. Keep the projector air filters clean. Clogged filters and/ or vents will not vent heat properly, and can cause the projector lamp to overheat and fail.
3. Do not place anything on top of the projector or in front of the intake or exhaust vents. This will cause the lamp to overheat and fail.
4. When you replace the lamp housing, make sure the new housing is seated completely. Apply pressure at the base of the housing until it is completely secure.
5. Hot lamps are very fragile. Always move the projector after the lamp has completely cooled. Shock and vibration applied to hot lamps may cause the lamp filament to break.
6. Do not unplug the projector until the lamp has properly cooled. After the projector has been shut off, the fan will remain on for about 5 minutes. This aids in cooling the lamp evenly and completely and decreases the chance of early lamp failure.
7. Do not turn the projector on and off frequently during presentations. Each time the projector is switched on, the inrush of power causes stress on the lamp filament. Try to minimize on/ off cycles.
8. Some projectors offer "low lamp" or "economy mode" options. Use them whenever possible. These options have been developed to extend lamp life. |
