My school just got a quote from the service man about how much it'll cost to replace the lamp inside our Panasonic ceiling mounted projector. It's going to cost 600,000 to be replaced. Is this typical?

The budget for the room we use can't provide the funds to replace it. It was so useful.

They're real expensive.

Love projectors. I want to get one for my room but replacing the bulb runs more than buying a new TV.

The service man might be running the price up, but anywhere you go, it will be high. Sorry.

IT's not even remotely that high. He's robbing you blind. The cost of the light should run between 40k - 70k won.

380k to over 600k for panasonic bulbs.

Between 350,000 and 450,000 is pretty common for bulbs. They are quite easy to replace (takes 30 seconds on most newer units), but some older models can be more difficult.

It costs more because it's a Panasonic. They're hard to find in Korea.

As for the cost Chicken quoted... I'd like to know the make and model of the projector you're talking about. I've never heard of such a low price.

Here's another place you can call: http://www.smmedia.co.kr/shop/?doc=cart/list.php&ca_id=10f010

Here are some bulbs for other projectors:

And specifically Panasonic (if link works):

wow, I never had to buy one, but i shop on ebay for it. Just get part number. I bet you could get cheap and even make a profit if you sold it to your school.

[tzechuk]

Yeah, that's how much they cost. Very expensive.

[makemischief]

so chicken: where's your secret stash of bulbs? we're not talking about cheap low powered projectors here, but a good high-powered ceiling one- if you've got a source of bulbs for that under 200 DO SHARE

It`s not a ripoff considering it`s a japanese projector and those bulbs are expensive once they run out.

[bassexpander]

So what's the model number on that, mouse?

I wanted to buy a projector, but they cost a mint in Korea. Especially Panasonic (which are the best, IMHO) and nearly impossible to find in KOrea.

My theory is that they have huge import fees so that they won't compete with Samsung and LG televisions in Korean homes.
