{"product_id":"lmp-f250-projector-lamp","title":"LMP-F250 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eSony's FX50, also badged VPL-FX50, uses a single bare lamp: the LMP-F250. It's rated at 250 watts with a 1,000-hour working life and is supplied as the bulb alone, so it fits inside the housing your FX50 already has rather than arriving as a boxed housing-and-bulb unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lamp covers just one projector under its two names, so there's no wider compatibility list to check, and we carry it under a single part number, LMP-F250. Because it's a bare bulb, inspect the housing already in your FX50 for cracks or a loose socket before fitting the replacement, since the bulb alone can't fix housing damage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 250 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1,000 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-10353\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\u003eDoes the LMP-F250 fit any projector besides the FX50?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs far as we list, it's matched to just the FX50, sold under that name and as the VPL-FX50.
