Thanks! I would start your search over at Amazon. I've bought several replacement lamps for my own projector over there, though not a Benq. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=benq+1070+replacement+lamp&ref=nb_sb_noss_1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you always bought original bulbs or tried aftermarket? Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My last lamp was purchased on amazon for $38 bucks and I just retired it for a new one after getting over 3600 hours on it. I did have one that failed on me, though I did get a free replacement for it. There is also this place that sells all original lamps, so they say. https://www.projectorlamps.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orginal bulb is kind of middle of the road between generic lamp and and OEM. 38 bucks is a deal looks like mine will run around 70bucks for a bulb shipped. Did your old one blow up, heard a small pop and saw small flame when mine blew. That was a WTH moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Another, like a gunshot. A bit startling when everything goes dark at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerwoodKhorns Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 WHen I used to buy bulbs for my rear projection TVs, the Osram bulbs lasted and were worth the extra bucks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wuzzzer Posted March 31, 2021 Share Posted March 31, 2021 Why do you keep calling it a blub? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Osram orginal 79.99 free shipping. Company Abitan has one for 66.99 free shipping, company has good reviews 180 day warranty. I trust your reviews more then amazon, if I don't find a better deal I will go with the Osram. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
