This bare version of the LMP-C240 runs at the same 245 watts and roughly 3000-hour rating as the modular listing, and covers the identical set of Sony projectors: the CW255, CW256, CW258, CW259, CX235, CX236, CX238, CX239 and VPLCW258. What differs is that no housing is included here.
Pick this bare bulb only if the housing and cage already in your projector are in good order, since fitting it means reusing them rather than getting a fresh enclosure. As with the module version, LMP-C240 is the sole part number on file, so there is no alternative code to check your old lamp against.

Common questions
Should I buy the bare bulb or the module for my CW258?
If your projector's existing housing and electrical contacts are undamaged, the bare bulb is the simpler option. If the housing is cracked, discoloured or the connector is loose, the module version replaces those parts too.
Does the bare LMP-C240 run at the same wattage as the module?
Yes, both versions are rated at 245 watts with roughly 3000 hours of life, since they are the same bulb; only the housing differs between listings.
Which projectors does this bare lamp fit?
The Sony VPL-CW255, CW256, CW258, CW259, CX235, CX236, CX238 and CX239, along with the VPLCW258 naming variant. All nine share the identical LMP-C240 lamp, so any of these model numbers confirms this bare bulb is correct.
What is involved in fitting a bare bulb myself?
The old bulb is released from your existing housing and cage, and the new LMP-C240 bulb is seated in its place using the same fixings. Take care not to touch the glass with bare fingers during the swap.
Is a bare bulb like this handled any differently to a full module?
Yes. Because the housing stays in place, more of the old assembly is reused, so check the cage, springs and electrical contacts for wear while you have it open, since a bare bulb will only replace the glass and base.
This is a bare lamp — the bulb only. You reuse the housing already fitted in your projector.
