{"product_id":"et-lae16-projector-lamp","title":"ET-LAE16 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis is the bare bulb version of the ET-LAE16, supplied without a housing for fitting into your projector's existing cage. It covers five Panasonic models: the PT-EX16K, PT-EX16KE, PT-EX16KU, PT-EXK16K and PT-SLX16K. Panasonic has not published a wattage or lamp-life figure for this lamp, so neither is stated here.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is a bare lamp rather than a module, you will need to transfer the bulb into your projector's original housing during fitting, worth checking beforehand if you are unfamiliar with the process. We also sell the same lamp as a module for anyone who would rather replace the housing along with the bulb. ET-LAE16 is the only code we hold for this lamp.\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-09901\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the difference between this bare lamp and the ET-LAE16 module version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis listing is the bulb only, fitted into your existing housing. We also carry ET-LAE16 as a complete module with a new housing included, for anyone who would rather replace both parts together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs fitting a bare bulb harder than fitting a module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt takes an extra step, since you need to transfer the bulb into your projector's original housing rather than swapping the whole unit. It is still straightforward, but allow a little more care when handling the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this lamp fit the SLX16K as well as the EX16K range?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The PT-SLX16K shares the same lamp as the PT-EX16K, PT-EX16KE, PT-EX16KU and PT-EXK16K, so one ET-LAE16 bulb covers all five models regardless of which one appears on your projector's rating plate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I avoid touching the bulb glass when fitting a bare lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Handle it by the base or ceramic housing rather than the glass envelope, since oils from skin contact can shorten a lamp's life once it heats up in use.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does the bare ET-LAE16 page skip power and hours numbers?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePanasonic has not published a wattage or hours figure for the ET-LAE16, so we have left both fields blank rather than estimate a number that is not confirmed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182589391084,"sku":"LA-09901","price":288.37,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/32303-lg.png?v=1786960454","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/et-lae16-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
