{"product_id":"bp61-00731a-projector-lamp","title":"BP61-00731A bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eBP61-00731A is a bare replacement bulb shared by nine Samsung projectors spanning three model prefixes — PLH403W, PLK405W and SLK407W, along with their W3X, WS3, WX and WSX variants. Samsung records no alternative part number for this lamp, so BP61-00731A is the code to match. It is sold without a housing, for fitting into your existing one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince this bulb is sold bare, you will open your projector's current housing and fit BP61-00731A in place of the worn one rather than swapping the whole assembly. With nine model variants sharing one code and no alternatives on record, confirm the number on your old bulb reads BP61-00731A before ordering, and check that your housing itself is undamaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\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-10151\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\u003eIs the PLK435WSX lamp the same as the standard PLK435WS?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, BP61-00731A is listed for both the PLK435WS and the PLK435WSX variant, along with seven other models across the PLH, PLK and SLK ranges, confirming this bulb is not restricted to a single suffix.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is no photo shown for this specific bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA generic image is used because no individual photo of this bare lamp has been taken. Confirm fit by checking BP61-00731A against your old bulb's code rather than the picture.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo the PLH, PLK and SLK prefixes mean these are different lamp types?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, despite the different letter prefixes, all nine models listed use this same bare bulb, BP61-00731A, so there is no need to search separately for a PLH, PLK or SLK specific part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the risk of touching the bulb glass with bare hands?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSkin oils left on the glass can cause uneven heating once the lamp is running, which shortens its life. Handle the bulb by its base or use a cloth if you need to touch the glass itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSince this is a bare bulb, do I still need the original housing to be in good condition?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a bare bulb relies entirely on your existing housing for its socket and reflector, so a cracked or damaged housing will affect performance even with a new bulb fitted.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182582116588,"sku":"LA-10151","price":125.98,"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\/bp61-00731a-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
