Projector lamps: What does a projector lamp cost?

If you think the cost of a projector lamp is comparable to a standard 60-watt lightbulb, think again. Projector lamps are relatively expensive, ranging from $200 for low lumen projectors, to over $600 for high lumen projectors. The average projector lamp cost is $350. There are good reasons that the price is what it is. Projector lamps are highly sophisticated instruments that produce amazing brightness. In addition, the assembly process is complicated and supply is somewhat limited. Some projector bulbs are on backorder for several months! We recommend purchasing a spare projector bulb when you buy a projector. That way, you will have a spare in case of emergencies, and you might also get a good discount on the lamp by purchasing the projector as well.
