Sony VW11 projector lamp
The Sony VW11 takes lamp LMP-P201, a 200 W lamp rated for 1,000 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. It fits 12 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 VW11.
| Code | Used by |
|---|---|
LMP-P201 | Sony original part number |
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 VW11, the same lamp is the correct part.
Which lamp does the Sony VW11 take?
The Sony VW11 uses LMP-P201.
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 VW11 lamp last?
LMP-P201 is rated for 1,000 hours at 200 W. Actual life depends on the lamp mode you run and how the projector is ventilated.
Does the same lamp fit other Sony projectors?
Yes. The same lamp also fits the Sony PX21, the Sony PX31, the Sony PX32, the Sony VPL-PX21, the Sony VPL-PX31, the Sony VPL-PX32 and other Sony models listed on this page.
