331-6242 is a 240-watt bare bulb built for the Dell 1420X, 1430X and FKRPW projectors, sold without a housing for fitting into your existing one. It's the right choice if your current housing is undamaged and it's only the bulb itself that has dimmed or failed. Rated life is 3000 hours.
This lamp is also sold under 725-10325 as an alternative code, and a module version with its own housing is listed separately under that same part number. Choose the module instead of this bare bulb if your current housing has cracked, lost a screw mount, or shows scorch marks around the socket.

Common questions
Is 331-6242 an older code than 725-10325, or the same lamp?
They're the same 240-watt bulb rather than an old and new version - Dell's documentation has used both codes for this part. Either number will bring up this exact bulb.
Will this bulb work in an FKRPW-branded unit as well as a 1420X?
Yes, the FKRPW reference and the 1420X and 1430X models all share this same lamp, so one listing covers all three without needing a separate part for each.
What's the benefit of buying the bare bulb rather than the module?
The bare bulb costs less because you're only paying for the lamp, not a new housing. It makes sense when your existing housing is still sound and only the bulb has failed.
How should I store a spare bulb before fitting it?
Keep it in its original packaging, away from damp and out of direct sunlight, until you're ready to fit it. Avoid stacking heavy items on top of the box, as the housing and glass can be more fragile than they look.
Does a dimmer picture always mean the bulb has failed completely?
Not necessarily - dimming is often gradual as a lamp approaches the end of its rated life, rather than a sudden failure. A steadily fading picture is usually a sign to plan a replacement soon rather than an emergency.
This is a bare lamp — the bulb only. You reuse the housing already fitted in your projector.
