{"product_id":"delta-dp3617-projector-lamp","title":"Delta DP3617 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe DP3617 is a Delta projector whose lamp we list by model name rather than a manufacturer code, as none appears in our records for this part. It's a bare bulb, which means it fits inside the housing already present in your DP3617 rather than arriving with a housing of its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout a code to check, confirming the projector model itself, DP3617, printed on the unit is the most reliable way to be sure this is the right lamp. Once fitted, the existing housing continues to do its job, holding the new bulb in exactly the same position as before.\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-08765\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\u003eWhy isn't there a manufacturer code for the DP3617 lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe don't have a separate part code on file for this bulb, so it's listed by the projector it fits, the Delta DP3617, instead; matching the projector name alone is enough to identify the correct lamp for your order.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCould this lamp also fit a Delta DP3622 or DP2617?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, each of those is a separate listing with its own lamp position. This one is built specifically for the DP3617, so checking the full model number on your projector before ordering is worth the extra minute.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat condition should my existing housing be in before I fit a bare bulb like this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck for cracks in the housing frame and make sure the electrical pins aren't bent or corroded, since the new bulb relies on that housing to seat and connect correctly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there anything I should avoid touching on the new lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAvoid touching the glass envelope with bare fingers where possible; oils from skin can create hot spots on the glass and shorten the bulb's working life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow soon should I replace a lamp once the picture starts dimming?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere's no fixed point, but once dimming or colour shift becomes noticeable on the DP3617, it's worth planning a replacement before the lamp fails completely mid-use.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182673572076,"sku":"LA-08765","price":148.91,"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\/delta-dp3617-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
