{"product_id":"elplp18-projector-lamp","title":"ELPLP18 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis bare ELPLP18 bulb fits inside the housing already in your Epson ELP-520, ELP-720, ELP-730, ELP-735 or EMP-series equivalent, across 16 listed models including the Powerlite 730C and 735c. It runs at 150 watts and is rated for 1500 hours -- a shorter rating than several newer lamps in this range.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAs a bare lamp, it assumes the housing currently in your projector is intact; if it is cracked or the retaining clips have failed, look instead for a version supplied with a new module. No photograph of this exact bulb exists in our records, so confirm your model against the list rather than the image shown.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 150 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1,500 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-09051\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 16 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the rated life only 1500 hours on this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis is an older lamp specification used on Epson's ELP-520 to ELP-735 generation of projectors, rated at 150 watts for 1500 hours. Newer lamps in other ranges carry higher hour ratings, but this figure reflects the original spec for this model family.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this bare lamp fit inside any housing, or only a specific one?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is designed to fit the housing used specifically in the ELP-520 to ELP-735 and equivalent EMP-series projectors listed on this page -- not a universal fit for other Epson ranges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe image shown looks generic -- is that a problem?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it simply means no individual photograph of this specific bare bulb exists in our records. The part number, specification and compatibility list are still accurate and unaffected by the image used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can I tell if my housing is still good enough for a bare lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck for cracks in the frame, a loose or bent retaining clip, and make sure the reflector is still firmly seated. If all of that looks sound, a bare lamp is the appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the EMP-735C the same as the EMP-735 for this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the EMP-735 and EMP-735C are both listed as taking this ELPLP18 lamp; the C denotes a colour or trim variant rather than a different internal specification.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182580510956,"sku":"LA-09051","price":117.86,"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\/elplp18-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
