Step 1: Buy authentic

It can be confusing trying to find the proper BenQ 59.J9301.CG1 lamp for your BenQ PB2140 projector. The Internet has been flooded with companies offering “compatible” generic lamps at bargain prices. These are NOT authentic lamps and should be avoided.

Authentic lamps are important

Your BenQ PB2140 projector is a sophisticated machine with sensitive electronic components. The BenQ 59.J9301.CG1 projector lamp has been designed specifically to keep your projector operating at optimum levels. Generic “compatible” lamps are made with copycat technology that use inferior and often toxic materials.

Knock-off manufacturers don’t possess the proper technology to create these lamps and as a result these lamps have a shorter lamp life, are prone to explosions and can seriously damage your projector. Installing them cancels your warranty leaving your vulnerable should anything go wrong. It’s not worth the small savings. Protect yourself from buying a knock-off counterfeit compatible generic lamp.

The few dollars you save with generic “compatible” lamps is not worth it in the long run. Save yourself unnecessary headaches and buy an BenQ 59.J9301.CG1 lamp from a recognized dealer. You’ll be getting a far superior product with a replacement guarantee and tech support.

Genuine lampsHow do you spot counterfeit projector lamps?

There’s been an explosion of websites selling “generic, compatible” replacement lamps. It can be tough to tell the difference between the authentic projector lamp with a guarantee and counterfeit projector lamps. Here are some telltale signs.

Price

Projector lamps are complicated and sophisticated lamps — not your ordinary light bulb. The cost of creating this advanced technology is reflected in the price. If you come across a projector lamp that seems like an incredible bargain—run because it’s a forgery. The lowest price for a genuine lamp is every only 20% off the manufacturer’s price. This is an industry standard agreed upon by companies creating genuine lamps hybrids and the OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). Anything else is a fake.

Compatibility double speak

Statements such as “100% Brand New OEM Equivalent” and “OEM Compatible Lamps” and “guaranteed to be 100% compatible with the factory original” should make you suspicious. These statements are euphemisms used by copycat manufacturers bootleg companies to convince you to buy their inferior product.

Made in China

If you’re buying from a place with no direct customer service line, no direct email and no salesperson to contact, then that may also be a sign that the company is selling counterfeit. You should be able to easily contact the company and there should be a clearly outlined return policy. Almost 100% of the companies located in the China are selling counterfeit lamps that have no guarantee or money back refund.

Strange part numbers

It’s easy for the counterfeit companies to simply use the part number as the manufacturer, many don’t bother to even make sure they have the correct number. Look at the manufacturer’s website for the part number and compare it against the one being used by the company offering the incredible bargain. If the two don’t match, don’t buy.

Suspicious labels with spelling mistakes

Black market products often have labeling that looks unprofessional or there is clearly a knockoff label. If you the manufacturers label looks suspicious, check underneath for an original label. Often companies will put a knock-off label over top of their own.

No original codes

Check for the original code. Original lamps are stamped with a code identifying each company. See the chart below for more information. If the lamp is missing this code then it’s not adhering to the ANSI standards for bulbs and should be avoided.  Codes such a PL or GL are codes used by copy-lamp manufacturers.

Lamp NameCode
PhillipsUHP
OsramP-VIP
PhoenixSHP
UshioUMPRD
MitsubishiVLT
Hewlett PackardL1
IBM31
EPSONELP

Naked bulbs, no cage

Counterfeit lamps are often sold with no cage just the light bulb. Phillips has authorized MI Technologies to sell their replacement bulbs since this company also manufactures its own cages.  It’s this is a rare exception to the rule, however. Most companies selling only light bulbs are selling counterfeits.
