prone to explosions
incompatibility causing damage to the sensitive electronics in your projectors
no guarantee or refunds – you’re on your own to get a refund from the company when you buy from a reseller

The few dollars you save with generic “compatible” lamps is not worth it in the long run. Save yourself unnecessary headaches — buy a BenQ 5J.05Q01.001 lamp from a recognized dealer. You’ll be getting a far superior product with a replacement guarantee and tech support.
