{"product_id":"50029923-projector-lamp","title":"50029923 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eNEC and Canon both built projectors around this same 150-watt bulb, so part 50029923 fits an unusually wide range: the Canon LV-X6 and LV-X7, and the NEC VT48, VT48G, VT48J, VT49, VT57, VT58 and VT59. Rated life is 3000 hours, and the bulb is supplied bare, without a housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNEC's own part numbers for this lamp are LV-LP27 and VT80LP, so if your projector's manual quotes either of those, it is describing the same bare bulb sold here as 50029923. Since no housing is included, it is intended to be fitted inside the cage already present in your projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3,000 hours\u003c\/li\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-08595\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 9 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes 50029923 fit the NEC VT58 as well as the VT48?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. This bare lamp is common to the whole NEC VT48-VT59 family listed here, along with the Canon LV-X6 and LV-X7, since they share the same internal bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre LV-LP27 and VT80LP the same lamp as 50029923?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey are. LV-LP27 is Canon's code and VT80LP is NEC's, both describing the identical bare bulb that we list under the part number 50029923, so any of the three will do.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does a 3000-hour rated life actually mean?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is the point at which the lamp typically reaches roughly half its original brightness, not a guaranteed cut-off. Many lamps continue working beyond it, just dimmer.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I reuse my existing housing with this bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, that is exactly how a bare lamp works: the 50029923 bulb is designed to sit inside the housing and cage that are already fitted inside your NEC or Canon projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy do so many different projector models take one lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNEC manufactured the VT48-VT59 series as closely related models, and Canon's LV-X6 and LV-X7 share the same optical engine, so all of them were built around this one bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182626615532,"sku":"LA-08595","price":132.85,"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\/50029923-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
