{"product_id":"lmp-c132-projector-lamp","title":"LMP-C132 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eLMP-C132 is a 132-watt bulb rated for around 2000 hours, sold without a housing for owners who already have a working cage. It is the correct lamp for the Sony CX10, also sold as the VPL-CX10, and covers both naming conventions used for the same projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSince this is the bare bulb, you will fit it inside your current housing rather than replacing the whole unit, which keeps the price down against the full module. Check the printed code on your existing lamp against LMP-C132 first, and inspect the housing for cracks or broken clips before deciding this is the right option.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 132 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2,000 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-10337\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wattage and lamp life does LMP-C132 carry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lamp is rated at 132 watts with an expected life of around 2000 hours under normal projector use. Heat, ventilation and how often the projector is switched on and off will all affect how close you get to that figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the CX10 the same projector as the VPL-CX10?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, Sony sold this model under both the plain CX10 name and the fuller VPL-CX10 designation. LMP-C132 fits either one, so check your projector's rear label only if you want to confirm which name applies to your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need the housing as well as the bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOnly if your existing housing is damaged. This listing is the bulb alone, meant to be fitted into a cage you already own. A separate module listing with the housing included is available if yours needs replacing too.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat counts as safe handling for a new bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the projector cool with the power lead removed before opening the lamp compartment, and avoid touching the glass envelope directly. Fit the bulb fully home in its housing so it seats correctly against the contacts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow will I know the lamp is nearing the end of its life?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch for a dimmer picture, a change in colour balance, or flickering as the lamp warms up. With a 2000-hour rating, heavy daily use will reach that point sooner than occasional evening viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182577430764,"sku":"LA-10337","price":132.85,"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\/lmp-c132-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
