All projectors, as well as DLP TV's, only use about a dozen different bulbs.
It's the carrier cage that's different and what you are paying for and the cage is not a wear item.
I buy my bulbs bare, no cage, $50-60 even for OEM bare bulbs.
Typically one or two screws and you swap the new bulb into your existing cage.
When a bulb blows in your home do you replace the entire fixture or just the bulb?
Same concept.
