Comment on Creality's Warranty Loophole: How They Tried to Charge Us $30 for a Defective Sensor
db0@lemmy.dbzer0.com 3 days agoAh that’s for the tip. I was able to find lamps and cradles together for 100 Eur but I never thought to look for just the lamp anymore. I was stopped buying lamps when I realized I could buy a new projector for the same price as my optoma lamp after like 8 years of having it. Unfortunately those projectors don’t seem to be made to allow for lamp switching

Yeah, it was 50 for mine, so quite similar.
I’m considering switching to laser/led, since the power consumption should pay for itself after a few years, but didn’t get around to it, so now my 12yo projector is on its third lamp.
Always just replaced the bulb and kept the cradle.
Tbh, that lamp+cradle combo is a plain scam. No way the cradle is worth €150, but most people will just check the suggested lamp (which is lamp+cradle) and the projector manufacturer makes €150 off a small piece of aluminium.

Ye it’s a complete fraud. Glad I switched projectors tbh
