Honestly, it was about as hard as plugging in a power cord.
It was the retailer pushing it not Sony. Unsurprisingly the retailer is now out of business.
Replaced the bulb in my sony 3-lcd projection HD TV. Surprisingly easy and there's even full instructions on how to do it in the manual. When I bought the TV 4yrs ago they told me to buy an extended warranty because replacing the bulb would cost $500. The bulb (OEM Sony replacement) cost $125 shipped and it took all of 15 minutes to install and required no tools.
Three transformers from Edcor, two of which showed up blue (as expected) and one that showed up without endbells altogether (WTF?). Now I get to find how their customer service is...
Al,
I'm currently working inside a 70 year old, 100' tall building with limited lighting, I figured a mega-watt flashlight would come in handy. Night ops require infrared or nightvision, not bright lights.
