73P4966 is a bare projector lamp built for two IBM models, the E400 and E500. Rated at 200 watts with a 2000 hour service life, it supplies the bulb only, leaving your projector's existing housing untouched. IBM also lists this same lamp under the code 73P4954, so both numbers point to the identical part.
If your old lamp is marked 73P4954 rather than 73P4966, you are still looking at the right bulb; these are alternative codes for one lamp, not two different products. Because this is a bare lamp, you will need to move it into your current housing rather than swap a complete cage. Check your E400 or E500 housing is undamaged before ordering.

Is 73P4954 the same lamp as 73P4966?

Which IBM projectors take this lamp?
This bulb is built for the IBM E400 and E500 projectors. Both models use the same 200 watt lamp, rated for 2000 hours of service.
Does this include a new housing?
No. This is a bare projector lamp, so only the bulb is supplied. You fit it into the housing already inside your E400 or E500.
How long should the E400's lamp last?
The 73P4966 is rated for 2000 hours at its 200 watt output. Running the projector in a well ventilated position helps it reach that figure.
Before pulling the old IBM bulb, what should I note down?
Let the projector cool fully and unplug it first. Note which code is printed on the old lamp, either 73P4954 or 73P4966, so you can confirm the replacement matches before fitting.
