Projector Filter Codes 30 Jul 2018
There are many thousands of projector filters available and in most cases they have a unique code number, for example the Hitachi Filter NJ22222 fits several Hitachi Projectors and has its own individual code. Other filters have 2 codes, a good example is the Epson Filter V13H134A45, which is more commonly known as an ELPLP45.
In certain cases some filters have multiple codes and there is a range of Panasonic Filters that have three, or more, code numbers. There are usually many reasons as to why a filter has ended up with more than one code number and in Panasonic’s case it’s partly due to them taking over Sanyo a while back. The result of this takeover was that they added a Panasonic Filter Code to most existing Sanyo Filters. Along with this Sanyo Projectors were often rebadged as other brands, such as EIKI & Christie and so the Sanyo Filter was given a Christie or EIKI Filter code as well.
This means that the Sanyo POA-FIL-080 filter, for example, is also known as a Panasonic ET-SFYL080 and an EIKI 610-346-9034 Filter. Finally it’s sometimes referred to as a Christie 003-003084-01 Filter!
However no matter what filter code, or projector model, you may have we have an extensive cross reference list and so know exactly which filter goes into which projector. So if you’re having any problems finding the correct filter for your projector then just contact Simply Filters & we’ll be able to find it for you.

Differences between Compatible Projector Lamps and Original Manufacturers’ Lamps 04 Apr 2016
There are currently four main projector lamp types available: Manufacturers’ Genuine Original Lamps, Compatible Lamps, Copy Lamps and Counterfeit (fake) Lamps. Initially we’ll compare the features & benefits of the first two types, but we’ll also cover the other categories at a later date. Please note that in audio visual terms a projector lamp is made up of a bare projector bulb encased in outer chassis.
Genuine Original Lamp
These lamps are the same as the lamps originally supplied with your projector and as they are made by the projector manufacturer they are identical in every way. All aspects of the lamps’ performance are exactly the same as the lamp you’re replacing.
Compatible Projector Lamps
True Compatible Lamps contain an original manufacturers’ bulb inside a compatible housing. Both the lamp life & lamp hours are identical to the original lamp as compatible lamps use an identical bulb. As a compatible chassis is used then cost savings are available and so these lamps are usually 10- 20% cheaper. All projector manufacturers source their bulbs from the four leading bulb manufacturers: Osram, Philips, Ushio and Phoenix. If you buy a compatible lamp from a reputable supplier then these lamps will contain genuine bulbs from one of these companies, this means that there is no compromise on quality. Reputable projector lamp manufacturers, such as Diamond Lamps & Go Lamps, guarantee that the lamps they use are sourced from these four bulb suppliers. However other lamp suppliers may source their bulbs from an unauthorised supplier and so lamp life and brightness cannot be guaranteed. If this is the case then the lamps you are buying are, in fact, copy or counterfeit lamps and these lamps don’t necessarily have the same life or brightness as originals, or compatibles.
There’ll be more information regarding Copy & Counterfeit Lamps in a future article.

New Projector Filters 04 Dec 2015
The importance of keeping your projector filter clean cannot be overstated. Here is an extract from a Sanyo Projector manual relating to Sanyo Filters
The air filter prevents dust from accumulating on the surface of the optical elements inside the projector. Should the air filter become clogged with dust particles, it will reduce cooling fans’ effectiveness and may result in a build-up of internal heat and adversely affects the life of the projector.
Do not operate the projector with the air filter removed. Dust may accumulate on the optical Elements, degrading picture quality. Do not put anything into the air intake vents. Otherwise it may result in malfunction of the projector.
We recommend avoiding dusty/smoky environments when you operate the projector. Usage in these environments may cause poor image quality. When you use the projector under dusty or smoky conditions, dust may accumulate on the lens, LCD panels, or optical elements inside the projector degrading the quality of a projected image. When the symptoms above are noticed, contact your authorized dealer or service station for proper cleaning.
Due to these problems we have a range of Sanyo Filters along with other filters manufactured by Panasonic, such as Christie Filters & EIKI Filters which are ideal for preventing dust problems.
Recently we have added Sanyo Filters for the following Sanyo Projectors: PLC-XU73, PLC-XU70, PLC-XU84 & PLC-XU87 which all take the following pair of filters 610-323-2416 & 610-323-1860 We’ve also added Panasonic Filters for the following: PT-LZ370U, PT-AE7000U & PT-AE5000E which all take a TXFKN01RYNZP projector filter and a PT-AE900U which takes a TXFKN01VJY7 projector filter.

Pansonic Projector Filters 27 Oct 2014
Projector Filters: Most projector problems are caused by dust.
A dust-clogged filter reduces the cooling effect, and dust that accumulates inside the projector can lower both image quality and brightness. Ceiling-mounted projectors are often less frequently maintained because they're not easily accessible for cleaning. In fact, it's hard work just to carry a ladder around to all of the projector sites in a large building to carry out maintenance for ceiling-mounted projectors. Also, maintenance can be done only during certain time slots between lectures or after the Filter cleaning is essential for stable projector operation. The Panasonic PT-F300 Series, PT-D6000 Series and PT-DZ8700 & PT-DZ110X Series with the Auto Cleaning Panasonic Filter do not require projector filter cleaning or replacement for about 10,000 hours. The models equipped with the Auto Cleaning Robot (PT-DZ12000 & PT-D12000) do not require filter cleaning or replacement for about 2,000 hours.
All models feature a Micro-cut filter that prevents the entry of any lint and particles larger than pollen. And the optical block is sealed. In addition, the projectors are designed for dust resistance, enabling Panasonic projectors to maintain their initial performance for a very long time.
The ACF (Auto Cleaning Filter) automatically winds the projector filter and cleans its surface when the clog sensor detects dust and at preset time intervals. The ACR (Auto Cleaning Robot) removes dust from the air filter using a brush every time the projector is turned on.

Projector Filters 24 Oct 2012
Many of the new projectors currently on the market now come with far superior filter than was supplied a few years ago. The reasoning behind this is really very simple, lower maintenance time and lower cost of ownership. A dirty projector filter will make the projector run hotter and might cause the projector bulb to burn out prematurely. It used to be recommended that the filter was cleaned at least once every 3 months using a vacuum cleaner or similar, however if the projector's environment was particularly smoky or dusty, then it may have needed cleaning on a much more regular basis, such as monthly. The result of cleaning the projector filter regularly may result in additional months of use from your same projector bulb and so saving money in the long run.
With some of the new filters as favoured by Panasonic, Sanyo and Christie Projectors you do not need to clean them at all as they automatically advance to a new position every time the projector is used. Depending on the environment these filters last for 3,000 to 5,000 hours and are easily replaced as they come in cartridge form.
Some of the current projectors on the market that use this type of filter are models such as the Panasonic PT-D6000. This projector uses an ET-ACF100 filter and an ET-LAD60W projector lamp. Another example is the Sanyo PLC-ZM5000, which takes a 610-3456-9034 Sanyo filter & a Sanyo LMP136 lamp. Lastly the Christie LWU505 projector has a 003-003084-01 filter and a 003-120507-01 Christie projector lamp. All these lamps and filters are currently available to purchase from Simply Lamps.

Diamond Lamps 08 Jun 2012
As projector lamps have to withstand enormous pressure and massive heat to generate the light output required for projected displays, then cutting corners in manufacture can expose your projector to enormous risks. Therefore only install genuine original manufacturer’s lamps & bulbs.

The lamp itself is a complex mix of chemicals, including mercury, and precision electronics packaged into a sealed glass bulb. The unit is expected to operate at above 8000k (hotter than the sun!) and to withstand high pressure, in excess of 200 bar. The lamp is developed with a high voltage ballast (or driver) and is delivered as a lamp system. This system has been developed working with the projector manufacturers to provide the optimal viewing experience from the projector and the collaboration ensures that the finished product is properly tested and meets stringent quality standards. This care is taken to ensure the lamp will provide high light output, uniform light distribution and a long lamp life.
There are seven original lamp manufacturers: Philips; Osram; Phoenix; Ushio; Iwasaki; Matsushita; Epson. These are companies who work with the projector OEMs to ensure the lamp set-up delivers the optimal performance within the projector setting. They are also the companies who hold Intellectual Property (IP) rights to projector lamp technology. Some companies in SE Asia have created copies of many original lamps and sell them into the replacement market. These copy lamps generally offer lower performance, poor reliability and reduced lifetimes, and in many cases they are breaking patent laws. Original lamp manufacturers – there are seven globally – work closely with projector OEMs to ensure the lamp set-up delivers the optimum performance within the projector setting. Original lamps undergo rigorous testing throughout the manufacturing process to ensure they meet quality and performance standards. Diamond Lamps are one of the main manufacturers of compatible lamps and have a unique set of agreements with original lamp manufacturers to buy their lamps directly, and to fit them into cages for sale in the replacement market. Diamond Lamps manufacture compatible lamps for all major brands including Sanyo, Hitachi, Panasonic, NEC & Mitsubishi.

Projector Lamps from Hitachi 12 Apr 2012
The projector is used all around the world for many different reasons, they are often seen in schools, businesses and at exhibitions, they are a useful tool for education and training but they can be used where ever needed. One of the key parts of the projector is the projector lamp, Hitachi is a company that develops and creates both projectors and projector lamps of the highest standard. So who are Hitachi? And what makes their products so desirable?
Hitachi was founded in 1910, the aim of the company is to contribute to society through technology. Over the years the world and society have changed hugely, Hitachi has endeavoured to keep up with this rate of change, based on the principles of harmony and sincerity. The current corporate statement from the company is "Inspire the Next", the company aims to continue to meet the expectations of their customers and society in this age when technology is constantly ground breaking.
The company that specialises in projectors and projector lamps also make a range of LCD televisions and digital receivers, they are the electronics specialist. Projectors come in a whole range of different styles today; each one has a different use. One of the very popular models is the Short Throw Projector; this allows the projector to be sited very close to the screen, it excludes shadowing effects and allows greater flexibility for the user. The projector also has enhanced picture quality, added usability and security features, they are fantastic for smaller spaces, they are economically friendly when compared to other projectors and projector lamps and they are also much quieter which is useful if you are working in a confined space.
At Simply Lamps we stock and supply a range of projectors and replacement projector lamps including Sanyo lamps, Hitachi lamps and Sony lamps, so no matter what type of projector you are currently using we will find a replacement bulb for you. We only ever supply genuine projector lamps & projector bulbs sourced direct from the projector manufacturer, so you are guaranteed a genuine quality replacement as we do not trade in copy projector lamps.
Looking for a Projector Lamp? Look no further than Simply Lamps 12 Apr 2012
Are you looking for a projector lamp to replace the one in your current machine? Simply Lamps have a huge selection including Hitachi, Epson and Sanyo lamp parts, so we are confident that you will find a match. We specialise in supplying both education/government and corporate/leisure sectors. Do not fear if your personal projector requires a part however, as we also sell directly to the public! We stock all the main brands of projector lamp including the ever popular Epson eb-x02 and Optoma 2k projector lamps. Simply Lamps have been trading for over 4 years and have accumulated a great deal of practical knowledge in this time, if you have any queries, get in touch with our friendly team, who will handle any questions that you have. We even offer a recycling service for your old projector bulbs and lamps, at no extra cost, when you make a purchase.
One of the main reasons that a projector lamp needs prematurely replacing is that the unit overheats and as such we recommend periodic maintenance of your projector, focusing on the filters and air ducts. This will reduce the chance of overheating, as dust will not be able to accumulate. Another consideration when undertaking projector maintenance is the sourcing of authentic replacement parts. Here at Simply Lamps, we are a member of the "Genuine Projector Lamp Alliance", as we believe that to ensure safety and legality genuine lamps are the only choice. If you buy say a Hitachi lamp, then it makes sense to buy Hitachi replacement parts, as they feature the patents and technologies required to make your projector fully functional. Copy parts cannot be built to the exact specifications, as they do not possess the knowledge base and patents of the manufacturer. While this may seem like a neat marketing tool, the consequences of using an ill designed projector lamp in a branded machine can be dramatic. These products operate at high temperatures and are often used for a prolonged period of time, the implications of using an inferior product in this manner is a potential fire hazard, which in turn contradicts basic health and safety policy and could even invalidate an insurance contract.

Beware of Copy Lamps 26 Feb 2012
There are three main types of projector lamp that you can purchase. They are the Original Manufacturers’ Lamp, a Genuine Compatible Lamp and finally Copy Lamps.
Original Projector Lamps are normally made by the projector manufacturer such as Sanyo & Hitachi. These are manufactured to very high standards, as you would expect from leading worldwide brands.
Compatible Projector Lamps use the same Original Manufacturers’ Projector Bulb assembled into their own compatible chassis, such as Diamond Lamps. The bulb is manufactured by the same company, such as Philips or Osram who manufactured the lamp for the projector manufacturer. As they use the same bulb then its performance is identical to the original, therefore both lamp life & brightness are identical. However copy lamps are counterfeit or fake lamps often produced in the Far East and likely to give a performance which is far inferior to an original.
Projector Lamps are highly engineered units, manufactured to withstand operating temperatures sometimes hotter than the sun! When fake lamps are made corners have to be cut and so they are not manufactured to the same exacting high standards. This can lead to the lamp exploding in use and so damaging the projector. Often the lamp is not as bright and doesn’t last as long and so buying a copy lamp is generally a false economy. Also your projector warranty is void if you do not use a genuine lamp.
Prices of copy lamps are often low compared to originals however the old adage of “You get what you pay for” is never more true when it comes to buying projector lamps.
Simply Lamps only ever supply Genuine Projector Lamps & Bulbs and are members of the Genuine Lamps alliance.
Replace your Projector Lamp or Upgrade to a New Projector? 04 Feb 2012
If the time has come for you to replace your projector lamp because it has just failed, maybe it's starting to dim or perhaps the colours are fading, then you might wish to consider upgrading to a new projector.
Although many Sanyo & Hitachi Lamps are reasonably priced, the cost of replacing some projector lamps can be £200 or more. However a brand new projector starts at just £200. Many projectors come with 3 year warranty and some also boast an extended lamp warranty.
We carry all major brands of projectors such as Sanyo, Hitachi, Epson & NEC. Our range starts with SVGA projectors with 2200 lumens resolution and include many of the popular HD & 3D ready units. If cost of ownership is a concern we supply the latest led projectors. Casio are pioneers of led units and even though they are more expensive to buy you won't need to replac
Sanyo brand to disappear in April 2012 01 Jan 2012
Panasonic plans to eliminate the Sanyo brand name by April 1st and will badge their range of Sanyo projectors with the Panasonic projector brand. Panasonic has already been absorbing some of the Sanyo technology into their own products throughout 2012, and divesting unwanted Sanyo operations (like washing machines).
The brother-in-law of Panasonic founder, Konosuke Matsushita, founded Sanyo in 1947. In 2008, Panasonic purchased a majority stake in Sanyo for just under $5 billion, and then purchased the rest of the company in 2010. Sanyo means three oceans in Japanese, referring to the founder's ambition to sell their products worldwide, across the Atlantic, Pacific and Indian oceans.
Although the Sanyo brand name will disappear, Sanyo projector lamps will still be available for many years to come. So if you currently have a Sanyo projector then there will be a Sanyo lamp available for the life of the projector. However if you intend to upgrade your Sanyo projector you’ll have to choose a Panasonic or another brand such as Epson or Hitachi.
