Get the right projector lamp
Your Boxlight Phoenix S30 projector uses high-end optics that need to work with an OEM Phoenix S25-930 projector lamp designed to be compatible with those optics. Look for the seal of approval when buying. Counterfeit lamps may look like a bargain but cost you more in the long run. Counterfeit lamps have many problems:
- no safeguards in place to protect your eyesight
- generics have shorter lamp life than originals
- created with toxic materials and carcinogenic parts including Krypton-85
- prone to explosions
- can damage the sensitive electronics in your projectors
- installing a generic lamp voids your projector’s warranty.
