Ah, lol. We have the InFocus8606 and it looks like the replacement lamp is out of stock on InFocus' website. I see some other places online, but was wondering if there is one site in particular that you recommend?

Yes, it's possible. Just make sure it's an actual Osram bulb and not a fake.

I hear fakes usually have a stamp on the back instead of the engraved text.

You can also get a lamp from these guys. They are reliable.

If you go to the warranty tap on the website listed as manufacture, it's OSRAM SYLVANIA So should be good.

Just got this one in today from dynamiclamps. The mounting didn't fit at all, It was close but did not align properly for an easy swap. The bulb seems to be legit though so I just took that out and replaced the bulb. Running a test now with the SolusWax and new bulb.

Seems like they have two versions on their site. Worth calling them to confirm which one fits the 8606HD.

Hmm, I definitely missed that. it looks like this one has a smaller plate..and is about half the price. https://www.dynamiclamps.com/products/infocus-sp-lamp-085-compatible-projector-lamp-module-1?variant=8357439930404

Tried to run a calibration cube test twice now with the new bulb and it seems that the first two layers are good but the rest fail. 25xy 25z platform

Try bumping up the exposure by 1s. See if that helps.

Could the bulb is just weak since it's 3rd party.

This seems third party too, but they say it's the same brightness. Also the price is higher, so might be a better option. https://www.purelandsupply.com/infocus- ... 606hd.html

Obviously the best option is to get it directly from Infocus. They're out of stock on their website it seems, but looks like they still have some on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00HRTISAQ
