{"product_id":"np20lp-projector-lamp","title":"NP20LP bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eSold bare, NP20LP supplies the 280 watt, 2500 hour bulb NEC fits to its NP-U300X and NP-U310W projectors, without a new housing. It covers the plus and JD variants of each along with the shorter U300X and U310W names. We also list this lamp under the alternative code 60003130.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBuying bare only makes sense if your existing lamp cage is intact, since you'll transfer the new burner into it yourself rather than swapping the whole unit. If the housing is cracked, discoloured or the connector is loose, the module version of NP20LP is the safer choice. Match 60003130 against your old lamp's label first.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 280 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-09631\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 8 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy would I choose the bare NP20LP over the module version?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIf your NP-U300X or NP-U310W's existing housing and connector are still in good condition, the bare bulb is the cheaper option since you're only replacing the burner rather than the whole cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the U310W range brighter than NEC's smaller U-series projectors?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the NP-U310W runs the same 280 watt NP20LP lamp as the NP-U300X, a step up from the lower-output lamps used in NEC's smaller U250X models.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should NP20LP last in an installation projector?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNEC rates it for around 2500 hours. Installation projectors like the U300X and U310W are often run for long sessions, so keep an eye on the on-screen hour counter as that figure approaches.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the plus symbol on NP-U300X+ mean a different lamp is needed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the plus marks a later hardware revision of the same NP-U300X, built around the identical 280 watt lamp, so NP20LP fits it too, along with the NP-U310WJD variant.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I check on my old lamp before ordering this bare bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCompare its label against NP20LP or the alternative code 60003130, and confirm your projector appears in the NP-U300X or NP-U310W list, since NEC's U-series covers more than one lamp platform.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182624256236,"sku":"LA-09631","price":75.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/32412-lg.png?v=1786960468","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/np20lp-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
