Sony EX345 projector lamp
The Sony EX345 takes lamp LMP-E221 / LMP-E211 . 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 25 Sony 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 Sony EX345.
| Code | Used by |
|---|---|
LMP-E221 | Sony original part number |
LMP-E211 | Sony original part number |
VPL-EW575 | Equivalent code |
The code printed on your old lamp or its housing should match one of the codes listed above. Sony 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 EX345, the same lamp is the correct part.
Which lamp does the Sony EX345 take?
The Sony EX345 uses LMP-E221 / LMP-E211, also sold as VPL-EW575.
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 EX345 lamp last?
Rated life depends on the lamp mode you run and how the projector is ventilated; the lamp's own page lists the figure where the manufacturer publishes one.
Does the same lamp fit other Sony projectors?
Yes. The same lamp also fits the Sony EW130, the Sony EW345, the Sony EW348, the Sony EX100, the Sony EX120, the Sony EX145 and other Sony models listed on this page.
