I am trying to relamp a Sharp DT-300 projector. It uses a 210SHP lamp, I can't seem to find a replacement bulb anywhere. Does anyone know where? Here's the specs on the back of the lamp assy-

SHP56
Also, is it possible to relamp the unit with a brighter bulb? Thanks in advance for your help!

Me Too!
Like you, I'm looking for a less expensive solution for my DT-300 lamp meltdown. Did you have luck? I would like to try to re-lamp it myself if I could find a replacement bulb.

Not too much
I finally had a company relamp it for me. It turned out to be a disaster. While it was much cheaper than purchasing new, when the unit arrived back to me it was reassembled incorrectly, requiring me to repair before it would fit correctly back into my unit.
Then, all seemed well until about a week ago, when the bulb actually exploded while in use. The company gave me a 90 day warranty and it went kaboom just past 120 days. $280 bones wasted.
Anyway, I did get a e-mail from someone named Yuweihua from this forum, and they claim to have a 200w BSM-DC bulb for $80 each with a bit additional for shipping. Of course, then you'd have to be able to make the repairs yourself, and the cement is some tough stuff and you really have no way to align the bulb in the lamp reflector. (trust me, this must be done as the rebuilt unit would barely make it to the outside range of focus)
As it stands, I am now firmly in the camp of just purchasing a factory new lamp, I'll never relamp again. But, considering a new unit will cost somewhere in the $450+ range, and you can get a Sharp DT-510 for about $700 that has much better specs, it may be worth the extra $250.
Good luck!

Thanks Bobster, you advice is sage. I am gonna go to a budget 1080p replacement (though I'm having trouble finding one with a short enough throw). I thought only of trying to use the DT-300 for a spare. It might be worth doing for $100 or so, but not $300. Still thinking I'll give it a try... maybe.
your lamp is 210W SHP, right?
I have the burner, can you rebuild your lamp kit?
you need 200w BSM-DC burner, price is $80, shipping is $5, total is $89 include fee of paypal

Thanks ywh. I got the remnants of the exploded bulb out and all the old cement removed and am ready to give it a try. I have 2 questions though:
(1) The bulb explosion put a very noticeable crack in the (filter?) lens (a square piece of clear thick plexiglas with color refracting qualities). Will the crack interfere with the image? Do you know of some replacement, or if it is even necessary?
(2) Will this idea work to determine bulb alignment in the reflector? Use a lit flashlight bulb (wired with battery) on a stick with graduated markings, lowered into the reflector pointed upward, and move the bulb up and down while checking light output image on the ceiling. When the image is at its most concentrated, the filament is at the focus. Note the depth and measure the distance. Do the same for the burner's arc point to align it at the focus. Good to go?

Hi Sknerly - please let me know how goes the repair. I too had my glass lens on the housing break, but I had LOTS of cracks, I'm surprised it didn't fall apart in shards. I'm interested to see if those cracks affect the quality of the picture.
Good luck! I hope it works for you!

Hey Bobster,
Sorry it took awhile -- had many other projects and had to wait for the lamp to ship. I did the rebuild and it seems to be working great! Looking over some other posts, I saw the logic in using the potting compound (I used a muffler cement) before drilling method. It worked pretty good. I did find that when the lamp is properly aligned, the threaded end of the lamp does not extend out of the ceramic cap. This complicated the wiring connection, but no big problem. Now I have to find a use for the DT-300 again, as I went ahead and got an Epson 1080 and PS3 for blu-ray. Wow, what a difference! It'll be hard to go back to native 576p.
BTW, the cracked filter makes no noticeable difference.
