Generic Projection Lamp

Generic lamps are basically the similar in temperament or copy lamps but not manufactured by the OEM lamp manufacturing company. These lamps are made by the brands like Osram, DNGO and Arclite. A generis lamp costs less as compared to the OEM made lamps because of various reasons.
The very reason is that it involves inferior workmanship quality.
It includes lower manufacturing costs.
The lifespan of the product is poor and inconsistent.
It offers poor luminosity and premature inner failure.

There is lot of difference between OEM lamps and other generic lamps. The OEM manufactured lamps last 3 times even if you need to pay bit extra.
There are lots of risks associated with generic or ordinary lamps such as premature explosion and loss of lumens.
They are not as bright as the original manufacturer.
These generic lamps last only for about 6 months and 1 year. Thus for the cost-benefit options you should consider buying the OEM lamps.
An original lamp is made to work more efficiently and last longer. The lighting element inside a UHP lamp is built to resist consistent use ignition from the weight at 20,000 volts at a time. But the generic lamps are just made to work with original lamp drivers, not taking into consideration the life span or the weight of heavy volts.
In the OEM lamps the arc gap is typically 1 mm and the electrical arc must be aligned accordingly. But the generic lamps have a shorter life span and lose luminosity over time by imploding faster.
If you have the Philips VHS lamps then you do not have to worry about the defects and they are usually used in home theater lighting, digital projection lighting thus useful in saving power.
Most of the DLP and LCD projections systems use Philips as their OEM but here the generic projection lamps are not preferred.
Philips has worked in tandem with multiple television manufacturers to develop the best lamp drivers with the best lamps. Lamps must not only be compatible with the lamp driver, but work as one unit, something you won’t get with off-brands, or third-party manufacturers.
An OEM lamp will never fail prematurely, and will always be the best choice because it’s designed to be 100% compatible with your lamp driver, or ballast. But the same problems will appear in generic lamps.

Thus these generic projection lamps are not at all the preferred lamps because of their low quality and low luminosity, poor lifespan and premature implosions. These generic lamps though are inexpensive on your pocket but lack in quality. So it is always preferred to use the original, high quality made lamps from OEM or Philips brands.
