{"product_id":"dt01851-projector-lamp","title":"DT01851 Bare Projector Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor workshops and owners who already have a working CP-DX301 housing, this is the bare DT01851 bulb, sold without a module. It is the same lamp we also list as a complete unit, just without the surrounding housing, so it suits anyone confident opening their existing cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause no photograph exists for this bare-bulb listing, we describe it by function rather than appearance: a single replacement bulb intended to be transferred into your existing CP-DX301 housing. If you would rather avoid opening the old cage yourself, the module version of DT01851 replaces the whole assembly instead.\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-09169\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 would I choose the bare bulb over the module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bare bulb costs more here because it is a separately handled item, but it is the option to pick if your existing CP-DX301 housing is intact and you are comfortable transferring the bulb into it yourself, rather than replacing the whole assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it difficult to fit a bare bulb myself?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt takes more care than swapping a complete module, since you must open the old housing, remove the spent bulb and seat the new one in exactly the same orientation, then close the housing securely before refitting it in the projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is there no photo of this specific bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have not photographed this particular listing, so the image shown is a placeholder rather than the actual item. The specification and fit are unaffected; it remains the genuine DT01851 bulb for the CP-DX301.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I use this bare bulb in place of the module version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly if your existing housing is undamaged and compatible, since this listing supplies the bulb alone. If your housing has cracked, discoloured or is otherwise suspect, the complete DT01851 module is the safer choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I check before handling a bare projector bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the projector cool fully before removing the old bulb, and avoid touching the new bulb's glass with bare fingers, since oils from skin can shorten its life. Handle it by the base or housing edge wherever possible.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182656139500,"sku":"LA-09169","price":201.65,"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\/dt01851-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
