{"product_id":"lmp-e150-projector-lamp","title":"LMP-E150 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis bare LMP-E150 bulb is rated at 157 watts with a 3000-hour service life, made for the Sony ES2 and EX2, sold also under the VPL-ES2 and VPL-EX2 names. Supplied without a housing, it is designed to be fitted into the cage already inside your projector rather than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe list no other codes for this lamp beyond LMP-E150, so that marking alone is enough to confirm the match. Before ordering, check that your existing housing is free of cracks or bent pins, since a bare bulb depends on a sound cage to seat and connect correctly; a module version would be needed if the housing itself is damaged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 157 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 — Bare Projector Lamp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e — LA-10343\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich two Sony projectors take this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe LMP-E150 fits the Sony ES2 and EX2, also labelled VPL-ES2 and VPL-EX2 depending on region. Both models use the same lamp bay, so one code covers either projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the rated wattage and life of this bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis lamp runs at 157 watts and carries a 3000-hour rating. As with any projector bulb, actual life depends on how many hours a day the projector runs and which brightness setting is used.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSince there's no photo shown, how do I know what I'm buying?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis listing uses a placeholder image rather than a photo of the actual part, but every detail we give, the part number, wattage, lamp life and compatible projectors, describes exactly what you will receive.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I reset the lamp counter after fitting a new bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSony's ES and EX series projectors typically track lamp hours in an on-screen menu, and most will prompt for a reset once they detect a new lamp has been fitted. Check your specific model's menu after installation and follow the prompt it shows.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow will an ES2 or EX2 show that the LMP-E150 is fading?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWatch for the picture dimming, a shift toward a warmer or cooler colour cast, or the projector's own lamp warning light coming on. Any of these, especially as you approach the 3000-hour mark, are reasonable triggers to order a replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182650568940,"sku":"LA-10343","price":144.32,"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-e150-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
