Diamond Lamps are newly manufactured lamp modules designed to fit a range of historic Philips projector models, each utilising a Philips UHP lamp identical to that originally supplied in the projector. Diamond Re-Lamps are lamp modules created by removing the lamps from existing lamp modules, professionally refurbishing the housings and then re-fitting them with Philips UHP lamps identical to the originals.
Each lamp is a vital electrical component of a projector's design, essential to achieving optimum image quality. Each Diamond lamp uses a Philips UHP lamp, identical to the original ensuring that the projector brightness, colour, reliability and lamp-life continue to be optimised after lamp replacement, whilst avoiding any of the potential health and safety issues associated with using lower performance (often illegal) copy or branded lamps.
"We are very excited about this development in the lamp channel," said Dave Bethell, MD of Just Lamps. "With the growing promotion of copy lamps in the market it is good to be able to offer an ethical, competitive alternative that won't harm projector performance, manufacturer's brand name or expose our resellers to risks of litigation."
The first batch of Diamond Lamps to be launched will be compatible with a number of obsolete Philips brand projectors, with price savings of up to 45% compared with current product. Diamond Re-Lamps will initially cover 280 different projector models across several brands and can be supplied either from stock or as a return-refurbishment service and like Diamond lamps, will come with four months of warranty. Both lines will expand substantially throughout 2007.
