It is the same lamp platform Optoma also lists under the codes BL-FP180G and BL-FP180H for these projectors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou may see this lamp referenced as P-VIP, BL-FP180G, BL-FP180H or SP.8LG02GC01 depending on where the projector was bought; all four codes point to one identical module for the DS322, DS326, DX621 and DX626. Because this version includes the module, there is no need to transfer the bulb into an old housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 180 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5,000 hours\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType\u003c\/strong\u003e — Projector Lamp with Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e — LA-09681\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 5 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat does P-VIP mean on an Optoma lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eP-VIP is the name of the bulb technology fitted inside this module, used across the Optoma DS322, DS326, DX621 and DX626. It describes the lamp type rather than a single manufacturer part code, which is why other codes for it also exist.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs BL-FP180H the same lamp as P-VIP?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. BL-FP180G, BL-FP180H, P-VIP and SP.8LG02GC01 all describe the same module built for the DS322, DS326, DX621 and DX626, so any of those codes on your old lamp confirms this is the correct replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to fit the bulb into my own housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. This listing is a lamp with module, so the bulb already sits in its cage and mount. You remove the complete old unit from the projector and install this one the same way, without separate bulb handling.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should the 180 watt bulb last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is rated for 5,000 hours of use inside the DS322, DS326, DX621 and DX626. Actual life depends on how the projector is run, including brightness mode and how often it is switched on and off.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the projector accept the module without extra setup?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt should fit directly, since the housing matches the mounting these Optoma models use. Most units prompt for a lamp counter reset from the on-screen menu once the new module is detected.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182592143596,"sku":"LA-09681","price":117.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/35098-xl.png?v=1786965261","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/p-vip-projector-lamp-module","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
