Question: Is this bulb rated for  6000 hours and is the housing made of metal or plastic?
Document: Very easy installation - all necessary tools were included and it made the TV picture look brand new again! No heating up of plastic smell issues like some of the users of the less expensive models have reported
Picture was as good as the original bulb. Warm up a bit slower, but didn't bother me much. Great replacement!
Appears genuine, was bright like OEM. Other reviewers on low cost replacements mentioned dim bulbs. This bulb was more expensive but performs like the original.
I was impressed with the good price and authenticity of this OEM bulb. But I get funky blue lines & spots on the bottom of my screen. Admittedly my TV is 10+ years old and I was disappointed that this new bulb didn't improve the brightness of my screen. I should probably look for a new TV. But this bulb kept my TV alive for another year.
The bulb works fine. It is bright and brought my Sony Projection TV back to life, so over all, I am satisfied. My main complaint is that I did a bunch of research to find out the best replacement for the original Sony bulb. The conclusion was a Philips bulb and I was willing to pay extra or it, so I ordered this product. The bulb I received was a Neolux. I could have paid less for this bulb and I consider it false advertisement.
works as its suppose to. I bought another lamp maybe 6 months ago and it didn't last.. Hoping this one does,  so far so good!! delivery quick and easy to install
Saved  money. Timeley shipping and it works. What more can I say. Was able to watch the superbowl.Shouldn't have bet on the 49er's.
My TV was giving me problems with it's image, so I thought that it was this lamp and ordered it. I replaced but it did not solve the problem. I think the problem is something else, so I haven't really used it and can not give you a any report. This is why I used only 3 stars. Sorry guys.
It works great and cost half of Sony's lamp. Great value!
I wasn't sure if this product will work, but it is good and my HDTV is working like brand new. It is really good.
Answer: They say it's rated for 6000 hours. Can't confirm as I am no where near that amount of hours on new bulb. The housing is plastic.
