It supplies the bulb on its own, intended for fitting into the housing your projector already has, and is not sold with a housing attached under this listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis part is also recorded as Projection 102-246 in some catalogues, describing the same bulb. As no photo exists for this specific reference, rely on the HD 250 model name and the 102-246 code rather than the image shown when confirming this is right for your projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bare Projector Lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e — LA-08791\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the 102-246 lamp fit any projector other than the HD 250?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this listing is specific to the Digital Projection HD 250. Check your projector's model badge reads HD 250 before ordering, since other Digital Projection models use different lamp codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes a housing come with this, or is it the bulb alone?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis listing is the bare bulb only. If your HD 250's housing is damaged rather than just the lamp, a module option would be needed, though none is currently listed alongside this bare lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShouldn't the HD 250's 102-246 listing show the real bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo individual photo exists for this reference, so a placeholder image is shown instead.

An AV engineer can fit it instead if preferred.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the safest way to handle this new bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the projector cool fully before opening the lamp compartment, and handle the new bulb by its base rather than the glass, since finger marks on the glass can affect performance once it is running.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182575792364,"sku":"LA-08791","price":174.13,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/generic-bigbulb.png?v=1786970157","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/102-246-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
