I guess this would depend on how the service plan defines a lamp "failure". I know that with mine, all you have to do is say that you can percieve the difference and they will replace it. Being that the extended warranty ddn't cost much more than a single bulb replacement, I know that I will be "perceiving" a difference before my warranty period is up
I still think that the way to go with these is to buy a spare lamp at some point before you actually need the first replacement. Then you can exchange thru the serviice plan as you need to and always have a brand new spare around thru the life of the service plan without any downtime waiting for a replacement.
