{"product_id":"rlc-059-projector-lamp-module","title":"RLC-059 Projector Lamp with Module","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour Viewsonic PRO-series installations, the PRO8400, PRO8450, PRO8450W and PRO8500, are built around the RLC-059 lamp, rated at 280 watts with a 4000 hour service life. This listing is the complete module, so the housing, reflector and connector all arrive fitted around the bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith four compatible models, confirm which PRO8000-series projector you have before ordering, though the lamp itself is identical across all of them. RLC-059 has no other part numbers on record. The module suits anyone replacing the housing alongside the bulb rather than reusing an older cage.\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 — 4,000 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-10637\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat separates the PRO8450 from the PRO8450W in terms of lamp needs?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNothing in terms of the lamp, both take the RLC-059 at 280 watts. The W typically denotes a widescreen aspect ratio variant, but the lamp compartment and part number stay the same.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs 4000 hours a long lamp life for a 280 watt bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e4000 hours is what Viewsonic rates for the RLC-059 specifically. It sits at the higher-wattage end of our range, and this figure reflects that particular combination rather than a general rule for 280 watt lamps.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I fit this module across all four listed projectors interchangeably?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the RLC-059 module is identical for the PRO8400, PRO8450, PRO8450W and PRO8500, so the same part fits any of the four without modification or adjustment on your part.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I be concerned about heat when installing a 280 watt lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the projector cool for at least thirty minutes after use before opening the lamp compartment. Higher-wattage lamps like this one retain heat longer than lower-wattage bulbs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens once the lamp passes its 4000 hour rating?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBrightness typically fades and the projector may display a lamp warning. Continuing to use it beyond the rating increases the risk of sudden failure rather than a gradual decline.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182594535660,"sku":"LA-10637","price":142.03,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/23261-xl.png?v=1786957025","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/rlc-059-projector-lamp-module","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
