Optoma lamps

[BSB]

I am trying to find a lamp for my HD72 and there are none to be found. Does anyone know who has them. I checked the online stores and they are all out of stock.

FYI

If the lamps are on back-order, then all of the on-line places will be out of them. They all "drop ship" from Optoma's warehouse. If Optoma doesn't have them in stock, nobody will.

I went through the same thing when I first ordered lamps for my HD78-DC3. Was on back-order for almost 3 months before I got a lamp. The only real advantage of using another company besides the OEM for a replacement lamp is to purchase an extended warranty on the lamp.

Give Optoma a try first. This will give you an idea if the item is in stock:
