{"product_id":"lmp-f331-projector-lamp","title":"LMP-F331 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 330 watts and rated for 2500 hours, the LMP-F331 is the bare bulb built for Sony's large-venue F-series projectors, covering the VPL-F500H, F501H, F600X, FH35, FH36 and FX37. These are installation-class projectors used in halls and auditoriums, and this lamp is the higher-output bulb their optical engines call for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis lamp has no alternative part numbers in our records, so an old bulb marked LMP-F331 confirms the match. As a bare unit, it fits inside your projector's existing housing, so check that housing for cracks or bent pins before ordering, since a damaged cage cannot be fixed by a new bulb alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 330 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2,500 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-10407\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 6 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat sets this lamp apart from smaller Sony projector bulbs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt 330 watts, the LMP-F331 runs considerably hotter and brighter than lamps used in meeting-room projectors, reflecting the larger screens and higher ambient light these F-series units are built to handle in halls and auditoriums.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich six Sony models share this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe LMP-F331 fits the VPL-F500H, F501H, F600X, FH35, FH36 and FX37. These are all large-venue installation projectors, and despite the different model names, they share the same lamp specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGiven the higher wattage, is there anything extra I should do before fitting it?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the projector cool completely before opening the lamp compartment, since higher-wattage units like this one retain heat for longer than smaller lamps. Beyond that, fitting follows the same steps as any bare bulb: remove the old one, seat this in its place, and close the housing securely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat run time should the LMP-F331 give in an F500H?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt carries a 2500-hour rating at 330 watts. As with any lamp, that figure describes expected output life under normal use, and the hours you actually get will depend on your projector's brightness setting and daily runtime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a full module version of this lamp available instead?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis particular listing is the bare bulb only; we do not have a module version of the LMP-F331 in this catalogue entry. If your existing housing is undamaged, the bare bulb is the appropriate choice.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182651617516,"sku":"LA-10407","price":236.04,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/32355-lg.png?v=1786960463","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/lmp-f331-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
