Sony VPL-HW20 projector lamp
The Sony VPL-HW20 takes lamp LMP-H201 . 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 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.
Which lamp does the Sony VPL-HW20 take?
The Sony VPL-HW20 uses LMP-H201.
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 VPL-HW20 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 BRAVIA VPL-HW10 1080p SXRD, the Sony BRAVIA VPL-HW15 1080p SXRD, the Sony BRAVIA VPL-HW20A SXRD 1080p, the Sony BRAVIA VPL-VW70 1080p SXRD, the Sony BRAVIA VPL-VW80 SXRD, the Sony BRAVIA VPL-VW90 SXRD and other Sony models listed on this page.
