{"product_id":"rlc-032-projector-lamp","title":"RLC-032 Bare Projector Lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eRated 160 watts across a 2000 hour service life, the RLC-032 is the bulb Viewsonic built for the PRO8100. This listing is bare glass only, for fitting into an existing housing. RLC-032 is the only part number recorded for this lamp, with no alternative codes to check before ordering.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe shorter 2000 hour rating on this lamp compared with newer RLC parts reflects the PRO8100's older design, so budget for replacement sooner than you might with a longer-rated lamp. Since this is bare, check your existing housing and connector are free of cracking or corrosion before fitting the new bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 160 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2,000 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-10632\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\u003eWhy is the RLC-032 rated for fewer hours than some other lamps you sell?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe 2000 hour figure reflects the specification Viewsonic set for the PRO8100 lamp at the time it was designed. Newer projector models often use lamps rated for longer, but this figure is specific to the RLC-032.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the PRO8100 an older Viewsonic projector line?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt sits among Viewsonic's earlier PRO-series business and installation projectors. The RLC-032 remains the correct lamp for it regardless of how long the model has been available.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow does the 160 watt rating affect brightness on screen?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWattage relates to the lamp's power draw and broadly correlates with output, but actual on-screen brightness also depends on the projector's optics and screen size, so treat 160 watts as the lamp's rated draw rather than a direct lumens figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I buy this lamp with a new housing instead of bare?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, a module version of RLC-032 is listed separately with the housing included, for anyone who would rather replace the whole cage instead of the bulb alone.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is the safest way to store a spare bare bulb before fitting?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eKeep it in its original packaging, upright and away from moisture, until you are ready to fit it. Avoid touching the glass directly to prevent oils from affecting the lamp once powered on.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182592209132,"sku":"LA-10632","price":208.53,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/32462-lg.png?v=1786960468","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/rlc-032-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
