Necessities:

2. A Pair of Pliers
3. A new Osram Lamp (Philips no longer maks a 1.3mm arc lamp)
4. 15 minutes of your time

NOTE: The bulb should be handled with a clean lint-free cloth at all times to avoid any dirt or oil. Our hands are naturally oily…The oil residue from our hands can cause premature failure of the lamp if the front side of the lamp is not wiped down after the installation. It doesn’t hurt to do a final wipe with a clean, non-abrasive, lint-free cloth before reinstalling your lamp…
