It is fitted as a single sealed unit, so you exchange the whole housing rather than opening it to reach the bulb inside.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCostar groups all eight of these models under one C18 Series lamp code rather than issuing a separate part per model, which is why a single listing here covers such a wide model range. A bare-bulb version of this same lamp is also available for those who want to reuse their housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e — Projector Lamp with Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e — LA-11678\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 8 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow many Costar projectors share the C18 Series lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEight models use this module: the C162, C167, C181, C182, C185, C187, C188 and C189.
