Crappy knockoff products I puchased 5 Sanyo projector bulbs for our company last year and 3 bulbs lasted less than 50 hours. One bulb was defective when arrived but didn't know it until after the warrenty was up. Spoke with Cust. Srvs. and they pretty much said i was S.O.L. (Warrenties were over)

Bad rear projection TV bulb I purchased a bulb for my rear projection TV from electrified.com through Sears, I installed the bulb, and my TV showed the message "projector lamp is nearing end of life, need to replace" I assumed it was just something on the TV needed to be reset, so it knew there was a new bulb in there, like an oil change light on a car. A month and a half later, the bulb stopped working entirely, my last bulb lasted 8 years.... Cannot return bulb due to being outside the 30 day return policy. Luckily it was only a 20$ bulb. But beware of electrified.com
