It's rated at 230 watts with a quoted 4000 hour life, and it's sold bare, so the bulb fits into whichever housing is already installed in your projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe PJD6531W stands out from the other two by its widescreen aspect, but Viewsonic still specifies the identical RLC-049 lamp for it. At 4000 hours, this lamp should give a reasonable service life before output starts to fade; keep an eye on brightness and colour as a practical guide to when a replacement is due.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 230 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4,000 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-10594\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the widescreen PJD6531W use a different lamp from the PJD6241?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, all three models in this group, the PJD6241, PJD6381 and PJD6531W, share the RLC-049 lamp regardless of aspect ratio, so widescreen and standard variants alike take the identical part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat wattage and life does the RLC-049 carry?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e230 watts, with a rated life of 4000 hours, one of the higher-wattage lamps across the Viewsonic PJD range covered here, reflecting the brightness needs of the projectors it serves.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this a bare bulb or a housed module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBare bulb.
