Nine Sony projectors take the LMP-C280, including the CX729, the VPL-CW275, CW276, CW279, CX275, CX276, CX278, CX279 and the VPL-EX278. It runs at 280 watts with a rated life of about 3000 hours, longer than the similarly numbered LMP-C281, and this listing is the housed module.
Do not confuse this with the LMP-C281 used on Sony's separate CH370-series projectors; the two codes are easy to mix up but are not interchangeable. LMP-C280 is the only part number we have recorded for this lamp, so match your projector against the CX729, CW275 or CX275 families listed above to order correctly.

Common questions
Is the VPL-EX278 really on the same lamp as the CX729?
Yes, the VPL-EX278 is included in the range of nine projectors that use the LMP-C280, alongside the CX729, CW275, CW276, CW279, CX275, CX276, CX278 and CX279.
What is the difference between LMP-C280 and LMP-C281?
They are two separate lamps for two separate projector ranges despite the near-identical part numbers. LMP-C280 fits the CX729, CW275 and CX275 families, while LMP-C281 is for the CH370 series. Check your old lamp's exact code before ordering.
How long does the LMP-C280 typically last?
It carries a rated life of around 3000 hours at 280 watts, based on Sony's own specification. This is longer than the similarly numbered LMP-C281, which is worth noting since the two part numbers are easily confused.
Does this include a new housing?
Yes, the housing and cage are included, with the bulb fitted inside as a single module ready to fit. You are not required to reuse any part of your projector's existing lamp assembly when fitting this.
What should I check before fitting this myself?
Confirm the projector is switched off and unplugged, and that the old lamp has had time to cool, since projector bulbs run hot enough to cause burns immediately after use. Beyond that, most CX and CW models release the lamp module through an external access panel.
This is a complete module — bulb already seated in its housing, so it drops straight in.
