Si spera che le cose siano come da te descritte, per ora si sa con certezza che l'X35 monta una lampada diversa, che la serie 1 delle lampade aveva problemi, in misura minore la 2, la 3 la stanno verificando, ci sono utenti con un calo del 40% dopo 360 ore e altri con un calo del 35% dopo 500 ore, considerando che partono con circa 900 lumens con lampada nuova e VPR calibrato.
Poi tutto dipende anche da quanto usi il proiettore, ho visto sul mercatino un RS-40 vecchio come il mio con meno di 150 ore, io ne ho fatte 820 nello stesso periodo, mai meno di 500 all'anno quindi per me la cosa e' importante per altri potrebbe non esserlo.
Credo che sia interessante questo post di Avsforum:
"The initial brightness issue with last year's model wasn't bulb related, but some bulbs (not all as Jonstatt can testify) had issues with premature failure and accelerated loss of lumens. The new models come with new bulbs (reference ending in 003) which in my experience don't increase the initial brightness in an old model, as this is achieved through improvements in the light path and filters in the new models, but are supposed to be more stable and reliable, so their usable life should be longer in both last year and this year models. We do not know yet if this is true, but what we know is:
the bulbs are different (same model, same reference but differente version) between the rs50 and rs55, but they ARE compatible. The rs50 bulbs (and rs40/60) had a version number on the bulb ending in 001 or 002. The new bulbs on the rs45/rs55/65 have a version number on the bulb itself ending in 003. The reference to order them, or the reference on the box is the same though as they are compatible (an rs55 bulb will fit an rs50 and vice versa). I believe all bulbs ordered now for either models (rs40/50/60/45/55/65) should be of the new variation unless the dealer has old stock, but there is no way to be sure unless you get a confirmation that the version number on the bulb itselfs ends in 003 (or above). These bulbs were NOT available before the rs45/55 launch, so if you got your bulb before it is not one of those fit in the new models. Its version number should end in 001 or 002 and is not of the new kind. It doesn't necessarily mean it will have a problem though, and again a new model of bulb is unlikely to give you more initial lumens when used in last year's projectors. I mean, compared to a new old bulb of course, not compared to an old old bulb"
Quindi si conferma che la versione 003 che ho ricevuto e' la lampada dell'X30, retrocompatibile con il mio, che dovrebbe essere piu' affidabile (ma e' da verificare, vedi sopra) e che non apporta benefici come luminosita' alla serie 2011 in quanto l'incremento della serie 2012 a parita' di lampada e' dovuto ad altri fattori.
