sony xl 2400 replacement lamp
Grand WEGA 3LCD Rear Projection HDTV Lamp
The replacement lamp is the Sony XL-2400.
Finally, the lamp burned out. I was concerned about changing the lamp, since it was all new to me. While computers are no problem for me, HD televisions are new territory. After reading the manual for the TV, I figured out how to get the lamp in and out in only a few minutes.
Removing a Lamp.
What you do is pop open one panel. Turn a lever, then pull out another panel. Grab the lamp by hook/finger handle. Gently pull the lamp up and out.
Inserting a Lamp.
Don’t do this with your replacement lamp. First, practice with your old lamp. If you damage it further, who cares? At least you won’t break the new one!
Push the lamp in until it pops into place. Be sure to replace the inner panel properly (it has the lever. If it is not done properly, the TV won’t turn on. Pop, the outer panel back on and you’re done. Was that so hard?
My Results.
My replacement lamp has been in for a few months. The image quality (especially brightness) is as good as ever. It’s certainly as good as the old lamp was.
For a WEGA, if it goes black, and this lamp fits your TV, get it. A bright TV in a dark room is a great experience. After using this replacement lamp for months (and leaving the TV on all the time, including when no one is home), I feel very comfortable recommending it.
A Few Last Things.
When you get your replacement lamp, it should include gloves. Use them. This is because the oil from your bare hands can cause the bulb to explode.
When you look at pictures on the web of the replacement lamp, keep this in mind. Often, it shows both the case AND the bulb. When you buy one, you only get the bulb.
