Question

Answer 1

You can try, but you get what you pay for... the lamp pretty much is the projector!   It costs a lot but it should last a very long time, as long as the projector is kept in a safe, sturdy location (a good reason for ceiling mounting when possible).  

That's pretty much the price range for lamps in a quality projector.  You could easily spend two or three times that in printer ink before you ever need to replace the lamp again.  Make sure you buy from a reputable dealer, if you try to save a buck, I guarantee you'll pay for it.  Some lamps are going for over $1000.

Answer 2

I'd google the part number of the lamp. Depending on the age of the projector, you may find an N.O.S. (new old stock) lamp very inexpensively, or an equivalent unit.
