Author Topic: Philips/LTI XDC bulbs Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-30-2018 04:57 PM                     A simple topic that needs a question possibly answered: I made a bulb order and received Philips/LTI bulbs instead of my usual Ushios for my Barcos. Has LTI improved their bulb quality, for I've had experiences with LTI, esp their Helios, and never could get warranty out of these bulbs. I know that the XDC4200S couldn't live past 300 hours in a Sony without going black. thx - Monte  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 01-30-2018 05:07 PM                     As mentioned in a recent thread(lamp question), we just had a Phillips XDC-4500N explode two weeks ago. We were receiving in all Phillips branded boxes but since then we've started receiving LTI branded boxes. Haven't used any of the LTI ones yet.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 01-30-2018 05:49 PM                     Philips bulbs are made by LTI. LTI had been contracted out to manufacture these bulbs under the Philips banner.
