{"product_id":"lm520-projector-lamp-module","title":"LM520 Projector Lamp with Module","description":"\u003cp\u003eHitachi's 50V720 rear-projection television takes a single dedicated lamp, listed here under the code LM520. Rear-projection sets like this one use the same style of replaceable lamp and housing found in front projectors, and this is the only model this particular unit is built for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may also see this lamp listed as UX21517; both codes point to the identical LM520 module for the 50V720. It comes as a complete housing rather than a bare bulb, so fitting it means swapping the whole assembly rather than just the bulb inside an existing cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\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-09150\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 does my Hitachi 50V720 use a lamp code instead of a projector-style part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRear-projection televisions like the 50V720 use the same lamp-and-housing format as front projectors, just built for the set's internal light engine. LM520 is simply the code Hitachi assigned to this particular lamp for that model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs UX21517 a different lamp to LM520?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, UX21517 and LM520 describe the same lamp and housing unit for the 50V720. Either code will get you the correct part; we list both because different sources have referred to it by one or the other.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the LM520 include a new housing for my rear-projection television?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, it is supplied as a complete lamp and housing module. You remove the old assembly from the television's lamp bay and fit the new one in its place, without needing to separate the bulb from its cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I access the lamp compartment on a 50V720?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eRear-projection televisions typically have a lamp door on the back or underside panel, secured with a latch or a small screw. Refer to your set's manual for the exact location, and allow the unit to cool fully before opening it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens if I order the wrong lamp for my television?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA lamp built for a different Hitachi model will not seat correctly in the 50V720's housing bay, since the fitting and electrical connector differ between models. Confirm 50V720 is the exact model printed on your set before ordering LM520.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182654959852,"sku":"LA-09150","price":155.79,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/26550-xl.png?v=1786958810","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/lm520-projector-lamp-module","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
