Antonio,
AFAIK an LPRO's lamp wasn't replaced before.
The root case is typically not just the lamp,
and there is a chance to damage the unit.
It seems Symmetricom is able to repair/swap a LPRO for >2k euro.
You may lookup their EMEA repair center contacts.
Alternativly you may check out used equipment offers, with LPRO build in.
