{"product_id":"optoma-u2-projector-lamp","title":"Bare projector lamp for the Optoma U2","description":"\u003cp\u003eFor the Optoma U2, we list this bare lamp against the projector model itself, since no manufacturer part code has been published for it. It supplies the bulb only, intended to be fitted into your U2's existing housing rather than as a complete replacement unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWithout a part number to verify, the projector model is what determines fit: this lamp is offered solely for the Optoma U2, so check that model name matches before ordering. Fitting a bare lamp means opening the current housing, swapping the bulb inside it, and closing it back up, so take note of how the old lamp sits before removing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\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-09819\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 1 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this lamp sold with its own housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, it is a bare bulb rather than a complete module.
