[225 W] This lamp is working as advertised in our projector. Others make it hard to tell what you are really buying, but I trust B&H to give us the real lamp manufactured by Panasonic.

[225 W] You can never go wrong with ordering the exact OEM replacement. This is the exact Benq OEM Bulb Assembly for use with HT1075 & HT1085st Projectors. It went in properly and easily and worked right. I chose to purchase from B&H over Benq's website despite the same price of the product. B&H had free shipping, and B&H is on the east coast (NYC), as am I, Benqdirect's warehouse is in California. I tend to get things quicker from the east coast. I also felt comfortable buying from B&H.

[225 W] Received the bulb ahead of schedule, it fit, and everything looks better after the last (dimming with age) bulb.

[225 W] This is an updated review (November 23, 2020).
I first purchased this replacement for my HT1085ST in 2016, for $250. The lamp that came with my Benq projector decided to explode (safely within it's housing) after a mere 1500 hours. At $250 a pop, and believing that one year would be the par for the course, I was beginning to 2nd guess going projector instead of TV.
This bulb has lasted for 4 years and currently has 10,900+ hours. I'm certain it's not as bright as it used to be but it's still has been running great.
Last night was the first time, with an all white screen, I could begin to notice a slight flicker. I wasn't even mad. 11,000 hours, 4 years, yeah, let's' replace you buddy. You did good. Real good.


The price is a decent bit cheaper now too. Looking forward to putting the new lamp in, so long as FedEx can get it here. I live on a main road, but for some reason, Fedex likes delivering my packages to the apartment complex 10 numbers away from me so I always get nervous when I have something arriving through fedex instead of UPS.

[225 W] I just ordered 4 of these for my two projectors & was fast delivery & easy installation, beside best price I found online.

[225 W] Lots of knock off Panasonic lamps out there and B&H is the only place to get real lamps with the correct chips in them to log hours.

[225 W] I haven't been able to use it much...but it seems to be working just fine. Hopefully this one lasts longer than the first original bulb.

[225 W] This purchase worked as described. It was on time. Installed it and it has worked fine for about 10 hours so far! Very happy with this purchase!

[225 W] Received these bulbs and they were exactly what was needed in order to replace. It was a comfort to know that we were buying genuine parts for our projector and not any knockoff. Perfect fit and all went in very smoothly. Included filters which was also an added bonus. Thanks

[225 W] We use our projector in a dusty environment, these filters are expensive but they stand up to cleaning with water and can be reused many many times- all in all I like this much better than the paper throwaways or the foamys.


Upon teardown the critical parts of the projector were shockingly clean, although gnats got in through other gaps, at least the projector was dust free, I didn't expect that.
