{"product_id":"lca3118-projector-lamp-module","title":"LCA3118 projector lamp with module","description":"\u003cp\u003eA 150-watt bulb rated for 3000 hours sits inside this LCA3118 module, built for the Philips BSURE Impact and XG series alongside the LC3135, LC3141, LC3142 and XC EL models. Twelve projectors in total share this lamp, all from the same generation of Philips business projectors. The housing and reflector are already fitted, so the module goes in as one piece.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLCA3118 is the only part code that applies to this lamp; there are no alternative numbers to check. Because this is the module version rather than the bare bulb, it suits projectors where the housing has aged alongside the lamp, not just the glass itself. If your housing is still sound, the bare version of LCA3118 is the lighter option.\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 — 3,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e — Projector Lamp with Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e — LA-09943\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 12 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the XC EL projector take the same lamp as the BSURE models?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the XC EL is listed alongside the BSURE Impact, XG1 and XG2 models and the LC3135, LC3141 and LC3142 range, all sharing the LCA3118 lamp. Twelve Philips projectors in total use this exact part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I buy the module or just the bulb for this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThat depends on the condition of your current housing. The module replaces the bulb, housing and reflector together, while the bare version replaces only the bulb, so choose the module if the housing has also degraded.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does the projector's lamp-hours counter need after this is fitted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost Philips projectors expect the lamp-hours counter to be cleared through the on-screen menu once a new lamp is installed, so the projector can track the new bulb's own 3000-hour rated life from zero.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I confirm my BSURE model matches this lamp before buying?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck the exact projector name against the list above, since Philips used the BSURE name across several different lamp requirements. Matching the full model name, including Impact, XG1 or XG2, is more reliable than the range name alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there anything to be careful of when unpacking the new module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep the bulb and reflector assembly upright and avoid touching the glass directly, since skin oils can cause hot spots once the lamp is running. Fit the module the same way the old one was removed.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182623305964,"sku":"LA-09943","price":130.56,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/33859-xl.png?v=1786962590","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/lca3118-projector-lamp-module","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
