Hotlamps launches two-year lamp warranties

Distributor rolls out standardised warranties to boost sales

Replacement projector lamp distributor Hotlamps is offering free standard two-year warranties with its lamps.

Mark Tildesley, general manager of Hotlamps' parent company Maverick UK, said the aim was to shake up the market by offering an alternative to vendor warranties that tend to cover a range of shorter periods from 30 days to three or six months.

"The warranty previously available was just the manufacturers' own, very confusing for all concerned as it differed from lamp to lamp and vendor to vendor," said Tildesley.

According to a spokesperson, the freebie forms part of what Hotlamps calls a five-star package for customers, which currently includes an additional 30 days of credit for account holders.

Tildesley claimed Hotlamps' five-star package was "unique in the market".
