Twenty-four Epson models share the ELPLP38 lamp, from the EMP-1505 through the EMP-1700 to EMP-1717 range, plus the EX100. Rated at 170 watts with a 2000 hour life, it is supplied as a bare bulb rather than a complete module, so the original housing is reused.
Because ELPLP38 is bare, the swap involves opening the old housing, removing the spent bulb and fitting the new one in its place, rather than dropping in a sealed unit. Epson also lists this lamp as V13H010L38, so either number on your old lamp confirms compatibility.

Common questions
Can I fit this myself, or does it need a technician?
Most people fit ELPLP38 themselves. Because it is a bare lamp, the process means opening the existing housing, swapping the bulb, and reassembling it, which takes a bit more care than a module swap but does not require specialist tools.
Which Epson projectors take ELPLP38?
It fits the EMP-1505, the EMP-1700 through EMP-1717 range including the C variants, and the EX100. All twenty-four models listed use the identical 170 watt, 2000 hour lamp.
Is V13H010L38 the same lamp as ELPLP38?
Yes. V13H010L38 is simply an alternative code Epson has used for the same lamp. If your old bulb or its box carries either number, ELPLP38 is the correct replacement.
What happens if the lamp fails before 2000 hours?
2000 hours is the rated life under normal conditions, not a guarantee. Heat, dust and how often the projector is switched on and off can all shorten a lamp's working life.
Is a menu reset required once the bare ELPLP38 is installed?
Yes. Once ELPLP38 is fitted, reset the lamp hour counter from the projector's menu so the usage warning clears and hour tracking restarts from zero for the new lamp.
This is a bare lamp — the bulb only. You reuse the housing already fitted in your projector.
