We have two types of lamp - "Edis Genuine lamps" with original (Philips/Osram etc) burners with injection moulded housings made in China and "Edis replacement lamps" Many websites have damning reports about so called compatible lamps which bear little resemblance to reality, and many of these sites sell "original" lamps assembled with housings made in China.

Nearly every compatible or so called "original" lamp made and sold as replacement lamps in China are made from original Philips/Osram lamps as they are readily available from Philips/Osram and are assembled by local factories. Some very well known sellers of "original" lamps buy their assembled lamps from the same factories as we do. We call these Edis "Genuine" lamps in the same way as they do.

There are hardly any independent manufacturers of lamp burners in China, the factory that makes ours is funded by the Chinese government who enticed optical technologists from  the USA to set up and manage the company with the very latest manufacturing equipment and expertise in their quest to fund high tech industry for their space programmes. This company sells lamps to projector manufacturers. Our "Edis Replacement Lamps" are made by this company - you can see graphs demonstrating the very high quality of these lamps on our website 

Compatible lamps ie lamp burners made in China assembled in Chinese made housings are extremely rare - the stories about them are somewhat wild, we've been unable to verify these stories and we suspect they are a ploy to restrict purchasing to those who sell only lamps with branded burners.

We believe that branded lamp makers are very reticent to lose the so called "original" lamp market since it represents to them what the printer cartridge represents to manufacturers of printers.

You won't notice any difference between our lamps or any other - except for the Edis branding on our boxes !
