When your Boxlight CP-13T projector lamp reaches end of life, this guide can help you make the change.
The importance of OEM projector lamps
Your Boxlight CP-13t projector is a sophisticated machine with high-end optics. Generic lamps can be tempting to purchase a generic lamp due to their low prices but they can damage the optics in your projectors. These copycat lamps have not been properly calibrated and have been made with carcinogenic toxic substitutes. As a result generic lamps have shorter lives and prone to explosions. Protect your investment and purchase an authentic Boxlight CP-13T projector lamp.
