Do Spare TV or Projector Lamps Go Bad?

It’s a fair question.  Many people make it a point to not get a spare lamp because they’re afraid that the one that isn’t being used could go bad.  It’s something which takes place with ink cartridges for printers but lamps are a lot different since there isn’t anything which can dry up.

Hometheatermag.com has a great answer:

I don’t think there’s any downside to getting a spare lamp before you need it. I can’t imagine they “go bad” or anything like that. I suppose that lamps do go out of production at some point, but I don’t think it happens very often or quickly. If you can afford to spend $800 now as insurance against the moment when the current lamp dies—which will most likely be in the middle of a big movie or sports party—then go for it.

If you’ve never been to their site, it’s a must read for anyone into gadgets or looking to increase their knowledge in televisions, home theaters and other audio and video gear.
