Q: A rule of thumb when choosing lamp size:
A: You may use a lamp up to 6mm shorter in length
than the original lamp in your unit. You may also use a thinner diameter lamp as
well if necessary. As long as you stay within these guidelines, you will never
have an issue with brightness or visibility due to the lamp.
Q: How many lamps does my unit need?
A: Laptops generally require 1 lamp. Sony laptops usually
require two lamps once you get to a 16 display or larger. 15 monitors
typically need two lamps, and all larger display sizes will take 4 lamps until
they reach about 22, after 22 they may require 6 lamps.
