Optoma DX329 projector lamp
The Optoma DX329 takes lamp BL-FP180F, a 180 W lamp rated for 5,000 hours. It is available both as a complete module (bulb fitted in its housing) and as a bare bulb for re-using your existing housing. The same lamp is also sold under 1 other part number, all listed below. It fits 15 Optoma models in total.
The code moulded into your old lamp or printed on its housing may be any of these. They are the same part. If the code on your lamp appears in this table, it fits the Optoma DX329.
| Code | Used by |
|---|---|
BL-FP180F | Optoma original part number |
FX.PA884-2401 | Equivalent code |
The code printed on your old lamp or its housing should match one of the codes listed above. Optoma and third-party suppliers sell the same lamp under several numbers.
The model number is on a label on the base or rear of the projector, and in the on-screen menu under Information. Still unsure? Send a photo of the old lamp and we'll confirm the match.
If your projector is one of these rather than the DX329, the same lamp is the correct part.
Which lamp does the Optoma DX329 take?
The Optoma DX329 uses BL-FP180F, also sold as FX.PA884-2401.
Should I buy the bare bulb or the module?
Both are available. The module is the bulb already fitted in its housing and is the quicker swap. The bare bulb is cheaper and re-uses your existing housing, but you move the bulb across yourself.
How long does the DX329 lamp last?
BL-FP180F is rated for 5,000 hours at 180 W. Actual life depends on the lamp mode you run and how the projector is ventilated.
Does the same lamp fit other Optoma projectors?
Yes. The same lamp also fits the Optoma DAEXUNG, the Optoma DS327, the Optoma DS329, the Optoma DS550, the Optoma DS551, the Optoma DX327 and other Optoma models listed on this page.
At four hours a day, that is roughly 3.4 years in normal mode or 4.1 years in eco mode before the DX329 asks for a new lamp. Running it in eco mode is the single easiest way to stretch the lamp — at the cost of some brightness.
