Replacing a DLP lamp in your TV has been made easy to do so that owners do not have to call a technician every time they need a replacement TV lamp. TV lamps last about 3000 to 8000 hours and may need to be replaced several times during the life of the TV. A warning message will be given by most projection TV's when it is time to change the bulb.
1. Purchase the right replacement TV lamp for your brand and model of TV. The brand name will be on the front of the TV and the model number will be on a sticker on the back or side.
2. There are sites online where you can purchase a new TV lamp when you know which one you want. If it is possible to find a replacement TV lamp locally, it may be better, because the lamp could be damage during shipping. When you buy one replacement TV lamp it is a good idea to buy a spare for the next time it needs changing.
3. Make sure your TV is cold before attempting to put a replacement TV lamp. If it has been on, turn it off and wait at least 30 minutes or more for it to cool down.
4. Remove the lamp cover which is in the back or on the side of the TV with a Philips head screwdriver and take out the old lamp. It should come out easily. If there is any dust inside the area, remove it with a soft, dry microfiber cloth.
5. Take the new lamp out of its box, but be sure not to touch the glass with your hand. This can leave oils that damage the lamp. You can wear dry rubber gloves to be on the safe side. Put the new lamp in the socket and listen for a click that tells you it is properly connected.
6. Replace the lamp cover and discard the old lamp in the proper place for light bulbs. When you turn on the television, you may need to reset the hours so that the message to replace the bulb does not appear.
The lamp must be adjusted.

Rear projection TVs are powered by a high-luminosity lamp. This lamp shines light through an LCD screen, creating an image on a rear-projection TV screen. Many TV lamps have a limited lifespan, requiring replacement after several thousand hours of use. When replacing a TV lamp, find the model that works for a certain TV brand. After purchase, locate the access panel on the back of the TV. Remove the old lamp, and clear the area of all dust. A great way to clear dust is with a vacuum cleaner or compressed air. Install the new lamp, and replace the TV panel.
Projector televisions require lamps which occasionally can burn out. Replacement lamps for many popular models of televisions including Panasonic and Sony can be found online at the DLP Lamps website.
It's time to replace a TV lamp when it begins to dim and lose brightness. Although some people wait until the lamp stops working entirely before they buy a replacement.
The lamp can't be 'repaired', it is always just replaced. I would contact the store where you purchased the TV and see if they can order you a replacement lamp. Most TV's can be re-lamped by the customer.
A person can find replacement parts for any brand of projection TV lamp on Best Buy. They offer a wide selection of lamps and also other objects that may come in use.

Lamp replacement bulbs can easily be purchased from electrical stores. It is worth remembering that they are expensive items which cost over £100 to replace so it is worth turning them off whenever possible.
There is no way to know for certain when the lamp will die, but when the light comes on, the power to the lamp has detected the increase in current, which is indicative of a lamp that is about to burn out. I would purchase a replacement lamp and have it on hand when the bulb goes out. I would expect you will get no more than a couple of weeks use from this old lamp.
