Mitsubishi 915P049010 Lamp for Mitsubishi DLP TV

Mitsubishi 915P049010 Lamp for Mitsubishi DLP TV
After replacing 3 lamps in my original Mitsubishi housing I decided to purchase this complete housing-lamp assembly. The first thing I noticed is the filter screens are much coarser. Especially the 5/8" x 2" small air intake filter screen for bulb cooling. The old housing had an ultra fine screen that would clog over with dust in a month or two blocking all the cooling air. Hot bulb means short life. This will not be a problem with this new housing. This one is perforated metal with .076" holes, a huge improvement to avoid clogging. The bulb is an Osram not an offbrand, that's good. The housing screws are not the large thumb screws like the original but I don't see a problem. The housing is an exact fit to match the original and installs easily. I won't know if the new more open screens will improve bulb life but I am optimistic.
