This listing is the bare version, sold without a housing, so it's intended for fitting inside a lamp cage that's already in working order rather than replacing the whole assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eOptoma's own codes for this bulb are SP.86R01GC01 and, with a full stop, SP.86R01G.C01 - the same lamp under either number. A complete module version, with housing included, is also available separately if your current cage shows any damage; the bare bulb here is the more economical option when the housing itself is still sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 260 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-09735\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs EzPro 773 a different lamp requirement to the EP773?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, EzPro 773 is an alternative name for the same Optoma model and shares this identical BL-FP260B bulb with the EP773 and TX773 badges too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I buy the bare bulb or the module for my TX773?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose the bare bulb if your existing housing is undamaged and you only need the bulb replaced; choose the module if the housing itself is cracked, scorched, or the connector is unreliable.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre SP.86R01GC01 and SP.86R01G.C01 the same code?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the full stop is the only difference - both match this BL-FP260B bulb regardless of which one you happen to see printed on your old lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long is the BL-FP260B rated to last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e2,000 hours at 260 watts, with brightness typically fading as it approaches that figure rather than failing outright without any warning beforehand at all in most cases.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to reset anything on the EP773 after fitting a new bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, reset the lamp-hours counter through the projector's menu once the new bulb is installed, so the remaining-life estimate stays accurate going forward from that point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182653780204,"sku":"LA-09735","price":155.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/32639-lg.png?v=1786962155","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/bl-fp260b-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
