Question! My picture and sound both went out at the same time on my Samsung HLN437W yesterday, plus I had the 3 blinking lights. I took out the lamp carrier and checked it out and put it back in and picture and sound came back on, but later did the same thing again. It has 16,437 hrs on the orig. bulb and before I order a new one Monday, is it just the bulb or is there more going on then the bulb. I not sure if the sound also goes out when the bulb does?

The Samsung BP96-01073A Enclosure goes by a few different names: BP96-01073A(P120W), BP96-01073A(P), BP9601073A. Here are a few pictures of the enclosure assembly (complete plastic housing and bulb inside):

  From this viewpoint you can see the lamp has a couple of “half circle” vents, one on either side. These are to dissipate heat better and allow the lamp to run cooler

  Here is another angle showing the side vents on the newer generation Philips UHP Lamps

  The connector is the standard philips connector that’s been used exclusively in the last 3 years and all enclosure after the BP96-00224D (which had a rectangular connector)

  At first glance, the lamp appears to be a ROUND bulb, like the older generation ROUND “E23″ form factor lamps. After a more careful inspection, you can tell that the lamp is indeed a square or rectuangular design, it’s identified as a E22 Lamp. Here are a couple of pictures of just the bulb only:

Notice the vents on the sides and the small form factor (E22). The older ROUND BIG Lamp looks like this:

Notice the old lamp is Round and considerably bigger (3.25″ diameter) versus the small square lamp (2.25″ diameter). Despite the size, the smaller form factor is being produced at higher wattages (more luminous).

Now back to the BP96-01073A Enclosure…

There are rare cases where customers have had a Samsung BP96-01073A Enclosure fitted with the older style lamp! This is more prevalent in european and other foreign markets more so than on TVs sold in the US. Regardless, you should be able to easily identify which lamp you have with these pictures. Holding the enclosure at a tilt will exposure the side vents, and looking at the side of the enclosure you should notice a much bigger lamp if you’ve got the older bulb!

Do you have a projection TV with a bad lamp? Is the lamp inside your TV a Philips or OSRAM 100W, 1oo/120W, or a 120W lamp? Does it say 1.3 just after the wattage? If so, click here for the lowest price on an original replacement from Discount-Merchant.com

If you have an OSRAM lamp in your TV we highly recommend replacing that lamp with a Philips. It’s no secret Philips is the innovator of Ultra High Pressure (UHP) Mercury Lamps (created in 1995). The quality and dependability of Philips lamps are much greater than OSRAM, or any of the generic brands out there (LTI, APO, etc.. The combination of better “burners” and more advanced drivers (the ballasts) are a few reasons why Philips lamps outlast the competition.

In any case, if your lamp is a 100W, 100/120W, or 120W and looks like the lamps in the pictures below, we recommend purchasing this lamp from Discount-Merchant.com. Post questions and concerns!

The latest generation of Samsung lamp based Projection DLP TVs utilitize one of two enclosures: either the BP96-01472A or the BP96-01653A Enclosure.  Both enclosures cover the HLS and HLT Series DLP sets.

The Samsung BP96-01653A Enclosure is powered by a Philips “e22″ style lamp, operating at 132W / 120W watts.  It’s a 1.0mm arc lamp and its mean life is rated between 6,000-7,000 hours.  That equates to roughly 3 to 3 1/2 years.  Remember, this is the MEAN…we’ve seen a range between 2,000 to 30,000 hours on UHP lamps.  Information on how you can extend the life of your projection tv lamp, click here: How to extend the life of your DLP, LCoS, SXRD, HD-ILA, or LCD TV Lamp -Intuitive Guide
