This is the second time I have changed the lamp, in the past 8 months tv is about 5yrs old
You have a bad connector in the lamp. Stop running the TV immediately and contact the company you purchased the lamp from. this is common in older DLP tvs but not in one 5 years old unless you have a lot of hours on it. the connector can crack and arc inside the plug and then melt and smell terrible. It usually very repairable if you can get a ballast for it. the plug is part of the ballast.

SOURCE: replaced lamp in my mitsubishi wd 60638 dlp but now I have a flickering picture
Sounds like a new lamp that is generic (not Mitsubishi) as the set does not know which lamp is in the set--works with one and not the other you have found your problem.
If it is sparking unplug the set and have a shop or tech look at it.
When you put the old lamp back in did the picture look OK? If so why did you replace to begin with? Yes, there are some poorly manufactured lamps out there, where did you obtain the replacement? Was it true OEM?
Testimonial: "picture looked ok but dark as it was before replacement. replaced the original lamp since picture was getting very dark and increasing the brightness did nothing. replacement says it's a Phillips lamp."
