While counterfeits claim to be compatible they are often created with toxic materials including including Krypton-85. Lamps that are not OEM are prone to explosions and usually can damage the projector’s sensitive optics. Your eyesight is also at risk. Buy an OEM authentic Epson EB945 projector lamp and keep your projector working properly.
