Frequently Asked Questions
Which Sony TV model is this replacement lamp compatible with?
This XL-5200 lamp is compatible with the Sony KDS-55A2020 rear projection television.
Does this lamp come with the housing included, or just the bare bulb?
The housing is included, so you get a complete drop-in assembly — no need to transfer your old housing or handle a bare bulb.
Is this an official Sony OEM lamp or a compatible equivalent?
It is described as an OEM equivalent, meaning it is designed to match the original lamp's specifications and fit, delivering comparable picture quality and brightness.
How can I tell when my projection TV lamp needs replacing?
Common signs include a noticeably dimmer picture, a reddish or yellowish color shift, the lamp indicator light flashing on the TV, or the TV failing to turn on entirely.
Is the lamp difficult to install?
Replacing the lamp is a straightforward process — the housing slides into the lamp compartment on the back of the TV and connects without tools in most cases, following the instructions in the TV's user manual.
