UHP Replacement Lamps

More information about Replacement Lamps

The UHP lamp is the ideal light source for your projector or rear projection television because it has the highest light output used in the sophisticated small environments of Micro Display projectors. UHP lamps excel through long operating life and a low loss of lumens during that life. However, you should be aware that a UHP lamp has to be operated with care related to extremely high temperatures (even hotter than the sun) and the fact it is operated under high pressure (ca. 200-250 bar).

Fundamental for the correct performance of a UHP lamp is the stability of the arc length, the correct dosing of the materials used inside the lamp and the quality of the materials. Incorrect manufacturing of the lamp can lead to (early) explosions, limited lifetime and loss of lumens. Explosions can damage the application.

Next to the important quality process of the manufacturing of a UHP lamp, it is important to know that when Philips delivers a UHP lamp to an OEM to create a projector or rear projection television, this always is delivered together with a (high voltage) ballast. The system (lamp & ballast) is jointly developed and interacts with each other to ensure the picture on your screen is flatter-free and colour reproduction is excellent. Philips has extensive release procedures in development and production to ensure the correct working of a specific lamp type with ballast, guaranteeing on optimal television or projection experience. Replacing the lamp will allow your product to perform like it was new.

… “Amazing how you forget what the picture looked like when the set was new, until you put a new lamp in”
