{"product_id":"997-5247-00-projector-lamp","title":"997-5247-00 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Planar PR5030 uses 997-5247-00 as its bare lamp, a 230-watt bulb rated for 2,000 hours of operation. It ships without a housing, so it is intended to replace only the bulb inside the lamp cage your PR5030 already carries, not the cage itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e997-5247-00 is the single part number under which we list this bulb. Before fitting it, check the housing you remove from the PR5030 for cracks, scorch marks around the bulb socket or a connector that no longer clicks in firmly; any of those point to needing a complete module instead of a bare bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 230 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2,000 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-09972\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\u003eIn practical terms, what does the bulb-only format of the 997-5247-00 involve?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBare means the listing is for the bulb only, without a housing. You fit it inside the lamp cage already installed in your PR5030 rather than replacing the whole assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 2,000 hours the maximum the bulb will run for?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2,000 hours is Planar's rated life for 997-5247-00, not a hard cutoff. Brightness typically fades gradually before that point, and how the PR5030 is used affects how quickly that happens.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use a different part number for the PR5030?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe list this lamp under a single code, 997-5247-00. If your current bulb carries a different number, check it against your projector's documentation before ordering, since Planar has fitted more than one lamp assembly across its PR range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I reset the lamp timer after replacing the bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMany Planar projectors, including the PR5030, track lamp hours and will prompt a reset from the on-screen menu once a new bulb is fitted. Refer to the projector's lamp or service menu after installation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it safe to handle the old bulb after removing it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the PR5030 cool fully before opening the lamp cage. Projector bulbs run at high internal pressure and can be fragile once removed, so avoid dropping or knocking the old bulb, and dispose of it according to your local regulations for bulbs of this type.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182641131756,"sku":"LA-09972","price":167.25,"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\/997-5247-00-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
