What is the wattage rating for this item? My TV is 100w bulb rating according to the manual. Will this work? I have Panasonic PT50LC13.

I had the impression that the casing was metal but I did not examine it closely. I have had had this tv on for only 3 or 4 times -- not a good test.

I have a Panasonic Multimedia Projection HDTV PT-61LCX65 TV with the same bulb rating as yours (100 W). Lamp works fine in my TV.

Thanks Dylan! That's great info.Acc. to this CNET posting, a 46"inch LED Samsung is around 106watts while a Panasonic Plasma is around 160 watts. Both Samsung LED TVs and Panasonic Plasmas have improved over their last year models by an impressive margins. I am still inclined towards a Plasma for reasons of black and contrast on plasma over LCDs (LCDs are improving, but not sure if they can match Plasmas yet). If Plasmas are still consuming 400watts, then the choice would have been very clear, but now bet. 100 and 150, it is not clear.

I am sorry I don't know the answer to your question, but it is working very well in our TV. It was sent by Exclusive bulbs so I am sure if you contacted them, they could answer your question.

There were instructions included on how to put the bulb in. I do NOT think its for your model. Please check the model of your television to indicate what bulb you will need to purchase.

I put a color changing LED bulb in it behind my HDTV for backlighting. It takes regular household bulbs, incandescent, CFL and LED, but it is not recommended for any bulb that would exceed 50 watts. Most LEDs do not get anywhere near that.

I'm using it on a wall mounted that's rated at 1,480 watts. I believe this model is only rated for 1600 watts. Check Intermatic's website for another model with a higher rating. It may be discontinued so you'll have to find a used one like i did. Hope that helps.

If your using 125 watt bulb its max would be 125 watts. If you use a 250 watt bulb max watts would be 250 watts. Hope this helps.

I have a pt-50lc13 and it has worked perfect, we have had our TV for about 10 years (yes I know we need to upgrade), and we have had to replace the lamp about 4-5 times. We went thru 3 in the first 2 years, but since then we have had much better luck. They are super easy to replace, and the cost has gone way down. You should be able to return if it doesn't work??? Good luck!

I used a 150 watt bulb without a issue. By the way, you can get this at Mennards for a lot less.

I have a 50 inch Sony - The picture was getting darker as time went by... I told my husband.. I think it's the bulb.. he didn't believe me... then the picture went completely... guess what... it was the bulb... and the tv has been working fine since. Hope this helps.

I have the Samsung F8500. Although it is a plasma, it is a new technology plasma and is energy star rated and approved. I don't know the wattage numbers per se but they are not significantly different than other typs of large televisions.

Yes it just has to have the correct power rating for the tv. So you wont burn anything.

You need to check the amperage rating on the TV and multiply that by 120 (volts). That will give you the wattage of the television. Some Tv's are 110/220 compatible. If yours is, I believe a simple (dumb) adapter will work. Call your manufacturer, they should be able to help.

I just had a similar Panasonic model which I bought from Amazon also. It was large like this one, and it was 1200 watts. Mine lasted for 4 years and 4 months. Thoroughly LOVED the way it worked! Also owned a Panasonic before that one, although I don't remember how long it lasted.

It did not work with the 3-7W LEDs (21W total) I tried - trips the circuit breaker when in use with our TV. I also tried replacing one LED with a 60W incandescent (bringing the load up to 74W) and and it did the same thing.

I'm using it with a 200+ watt halogen bulb, it dims to a low voltage so I'd assume it would.To my knowledge voltage is the requirement, not wattage, but you should check with Insteon. You can contact them through the Smarthome site.Good luck.
