As a dealer we're not allowed to quote figures publicly; but I'm afraid that it is the priciest part in the projector to replace, and by a big margin. The figure will be significantly higher for the 4K light engine than the 2K. A return/exchange is cheaper than buying a new one. For a while during the Cinionic days they wouldn't ship an advance replacement, meaning that for the return/exchange price, you had to ship the bad one to Belgium and then wait 6-12 weeks to get it back again. However, the last time I swapped a light engine, they had gone back to the system whereby you received the refurbished one, installed it, and shipped your bad one back to them in the packaging it came in. Hopefully this is still the case.
The bottom line is that your best bet is to contact your local dealer for a quote and details of the logistics of the return/exchange deal.
