Have you used non-original or generic lamps in your projectors? Tell us how they worked! Were they as bright, did they last long, and were they reliable? Let’s talk about the good and the bad!
 
Hey Alan! I swapped my original projector lamp with a generic one last year. Brightness was slightly lower, but still good enough for movie nights. It lasted around 70% of the original lamp life. Not perfect, but okay for the price.
