I installed my lamp and now it won’t turn on. Do I have a defective lamp?

There are a few things to check before contacting customer service that may rectify the situation.

Starting with the easiest, make sure your TV/Projector is plugged back in and the lamp cover is secured back into place.  It is good practice to unplug the unit when replacing the lamp, so make sure it’s properly plugged into a good power outlet. 

My TV/Projector is plugged in, but I still am not getting light!

Listen to the TV/Projector when you try to turn it on.  You should hear the cooling fans after you press the power button.  The fans should run for at least a few minutes while the unit tries to start the lamp.  If you do not hear the fans, that could be an indication of something not installed properly such as the lamp or the lamp access cover.  Remove and re-install the lamp and then the lamp cover.  If the problem persists (no fans), check your power cord and then check to see if there are indicator lights flashing on the TV/Projector.

If you can hear the fans running and the picture is still not showing up, check the flashing indicator lights.  Every TV/Projector has an owner’s manual available on line for free.  Check the flashing indicator lights against the description in the owner’s manual.  If the description points to a failed lamp, please contact our Customer Service for further assistance.

My lamp is projecting a picture, but I have a message telling me to replace the lamp.  This is a new lamp, why is it saying that?

Most Projectors and many TVs have a Lamp Hour Counter or Lamp Timer to keep track of lamp usage.  The units are designed to warn you when the lamp is approaching the end of its life.  When a new lamp is installed, you must manually reset the timer or the TV/Projector will not know the lamp has been changed and will count an incorrect amount of hours.  This also means that if you prematurely reset the timer, you will not have a proper hour count on the replacement lamp once installed.  Some projectors will turn off completely and need to be manually reset before they will turn on if the lamp hours are exceeded beyond the factory settings.

 It is always a good idea to check the manual and reset the timer as instructed. 

My TV/Projector is much dimmer than I would expect with a new bulb. Do I need to send it back?

Purchasing a bare bulb can save money when replacing a failed lamp, but sometimes if the bulb is not installed correctly, it will not function at full brightness and give you a dim, hard to see image.

Check to make sure the bulb is installed flush with the front of the housing.  It should sit exactly as the old bulb and must be installed the same way or the light will not illuminate the image correctly. If the bulb is slightly off center, or not aligned the image can be dim.  Many times, removing the bulb and re-installing it into the housing will rectify the issue. 

My TV/Projector turns on for a few minutes and turns off after installing the new lamp.

While this could be a defective lamp, it is common for many TVs or Projectors to turn themselves off when there is another issue.  Many times the fans will be dusty and not spin correctly.  That will cause the TV to shut down.  Try cleaning the TV/Projector with canned air and a vacuum to make sure as much dust and dirt is cleaned up as possible.

I installed the lamp and my TV/Projector is telling me that it is getting too hot.

Anytime you replace your lamp, it is a good idea to clean the unit for dust.  Heat is the primary cause of early lamp failure.  By keeping your TV/Projector clear of dust, you will help it keep the lamp at a proper temperature.  When you have the lamp out, take a can of compressed air and use it to blow the dust free.  Then use a vacuum cleaner to collect the dust so that it does not re-collect in the TV/Projector.

This is recommended to be done at least when the lamp is changed, but seasonally is even better.  The cleaner the TV/Projector, the longer it will last.

I received my bare-bulb/lamp but it is not the same as the one I removed.

Rarely there can be multiple lamps/bulbs for a TV/Projector.  Occasionally the manufacturer will switch lamps mid production.  This can be confusing and frustrating. 

However, it can be corrected very easily with some help from you.  Record any numbers on the lamp/bulb.  Also verify your model # as well as any letters before or after the model number.  Contact our customer service with the information from your old lamp/bulb and we can correct your order and have the issue taken care of.

My TV/Projector has a new lamp, but the color of the screen is still wrong.  I see colors where they shouldn’t be and the picture is either flickering or off color completely. Is my lamp defective?

Projection lamps only put out white light.  Your TV or Projector handles the color control by shining the white light thought either a color wheel for DLP or LCD panels for LCD units.  The color can only be affected by the internal optics of the projector.  Usually when the color is off you will not notice with an older dim lamp.  With a new lamp, it will be brighter and show up any issues with a lot more clarity.  A new lamp will not resolve this as the issue is with the internal optics.

I do not see the answer to my issue.  Is there anyone I can talk to?

Most certainly.  You can reach our knowledgeable customer service Department at 1-800-664-6671 from 8:30am until 5:50pmEST.

You can also email Sales@purelandsupply.com or Support@purelandsupply.com with any questions or concerns you have about your lamp.

The Pureland Supply Difference

     With a background in general lighting we started Pureland Supply in 1998 as a specialty lamp distributor.  As projectors started becoming more popular in business and educational environments we noticed an increase demand for projector lamp replacements.  We began stocking and selling all original manufacturer projector lamps to a wide variety of business, educational, institutional and governmental customers.  As time progressed many of our customers started asking for a less expensive alternative to the original projector lamps made by the various projector manufacturers.  This point in time marked the beginning of our market niche and what we consider to be the offering of high quality at discount prices.

Pureland Supply made the decision to offer both high quality projector lamp replacements in conjunction with original bare bulb alternatives for any customer that wanted to replace their original bulb in their existing housing.  This gives the customer a choice as to which replacement they would like to purchase.  Both are high quality where the lamp assembly is a quick replacement that replaces the entire projector lamp.  The bare bulb alternative gives you an option to replace the projector bulb in your existing lamp housing and have additional cost savings.  The bare bulb alternative will be less expensive because you don’t have to pay for the lamp assembly which is simply a piece of molded plastic in place to hold the projector bulb.

 We are constantly bombarded by overseas vendors that offer much lower pricing on compatible projector lamps.  Many of our competitors have decided to go this route and subsequently offer extremely low pricing.  We know that you have invested a lot of money in your audio visual equipment and don’t want to purchase and install an inferior projector lamp that will result in reduced lamp life and possible damage to your projector.  Our projector lamps contain the original manufacturers’ bare bulb inside.  Original manufacturer needs some explanation (and clarification) because there are a lot of false claims made by various companies regarding lamp quality.  All major projector manufacturers make their projector lamps or contract out to various companies to manufacturer replacement projector lamps for their projectors.  The original bare bulb used in their projector lamp assembly is made by one of several major projector bulb manufacturers.  The major projector bulb manufacturers include Philips, Osram, Ushio, and Phoenix.  Pureland Supply is an authorized distributor for all 4 of these projector bulb manufacturers.  If you look inside your projector lamp you will find your original projector bulb will have one of these names on it.

Below are some pictures showing a few projector bulbs from various manufacturers and a projector lamp assembly with original bulb inside.

We don’t stop our quality process with the selection of high quality projector lamps and original projector bulbs.  We also have a full quality control department that inspects every incoming lamp.  Many competitors direct ship lamps so they don’t have to carry inventory or they simply put inventory on the shelf directly after receiving.  We stock every type of projector lamp and even display live inventory status on our website.  When a projector lamp shipment is received into our warehouse we inspect every lamp using our 17 point inspection process.  We also spot check and test a percentage of incoming lamps to ensure every tolerance is within guidelines.  Once approved we barcode and label the lamp with our Pureland Supply inspection label.  We have several employees with over 20 years in the lighting and audio visual field.  We have monthly training seminars for our customer service department so our account representative policy is made easy.  Any of our account representatives who answer the phone are trained and qualified to help you.  Whether it’s troubleshooting, identification, order status, stock status, returns help, or even getting a rush shipment out at 5:00pm, you won’t be transferred or put on hold for someone else.  Each representative will be able to help you from beginning to end.  Call us at 800-664-6671 during business hours of 8:00am to 5:00pm Monday through Friday.  We also have live online chat through our website during business hours.
