Yeah I agree. We bought the PJ about 2.5 ago and I thought about
getting a spare bulb then but was put off because they were about 250

because they have done nothing but go up in price. Doh.


The projector manufacturer now has a captive market of owners who don't
want to shell out ££££ on a replacement projector and are now tied to
paying £££ for replacement lamps instead.

Also older model projectors are not going to be reviewed in magazines
etc, so nothing to draw attention to replacement lamp costs. I wouldn't
put it past some manufacturers to keep replacement lamp costs
artificially low for the first six months of a model's lifespan because
of this.

You are certainly coming through on FM there.

I'm surprised that you can't get cheepo Chinese knockoffs though. I
would have thought it would would be well worth the time. I presume that
these lamps have patents on them or something.
