Cheapest supplier of PJ bulbs?
 

Found this place..

Although they seem expensive when comparing other items (Panasonic Plasma &
Sanyo Z2 projectors) from Netnix.

Z1 £204
Z2 £240

AE100, AE200, AE300 £240

The longer lamp life on the AE300 looks good...although Sanyo offer 2 years
longer warranty plus 90 days on the bulb (only 1 year for Panasonic, nothing
on the bulb)

Thanks for link. Might need one in the future. I would say though not to use
bulb life as a deciding factor when choosing a projector based on the bulb
life - it's a total lottery. Much better to pick a PJ for its image quality,
throw distance or whatever but take bulb life as it comes. If I'd picked an
AE100/200 over my PLV-Z1 last year because of cheaper bulbs I'd be well
peeved now.
