{"product_id":"rlc-063-projector-lamp","title":"RLC-063 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eFitted to the Viewsonic Pro9500, RLC-063 is a bare replacement bulb rated at 245 watts with a stated life of 3000 hours. It is sold without a housing, so it is intended for anyone whose existing cage still holds its shape and only the glass and burner inside need renewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCheck the wattage and hour figures against the sticker on your current lamp before ordering, since Viewsonic used more than one lamp specification across the Pro-series line. Once the 3000-hour mark is reached, brightness typically falls off noticeably even if the bulb has not failed outright, so replacing near that figure keeps output consistent.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 245 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3,000 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-10640\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 Pro9500 lamp rated at 245 watts specifically?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e245 watts is the figure Viewsonic specifies for the bulb fitted inside the Pro9500, matching the projector's optical design and cooling system. Fitting a bulb rated at a different wattage is not something we can support, since it falls outside the specification for this model.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat happens once the lamp passes 3000 hours?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3000 hours is the rated life Viewsonic gives this lamp, after which output usually dims and colour can shift even if the bulb has not stopped working. Many owners replace the lamp once it nears this figure rather than waiting for total failure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes RLC-063 come with a new housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this listing is the bare bulb only. If your Pro9500's housing is cracked, discoloured from heat, or missing a mounting pin, look for a version that includes the module rather than fitting a new bulb into a damaged cage.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I check my current lamp's hour count on the Pro9500?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eViewsonic's Pro9500 tracks lamp use through its on-screen menu system, usually under a status or maintenance section. Comparing that running total against the 3000-hour rating gives a reasonable guide to how much life is left before replacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it normal for the Pro9500 to run warm with this lamp fitted?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA 245-watt lamp generates real heat, and the Pro9500's fans are sized to manage it, so warm air from the vents during and after use is expected. Persistent overheating warnings point to a ventilation or fan issue rather than the lamp itself.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182601122028,"sku":"LA-10640","price":148.91,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/32500-lg.png?v=1786962157","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/rlc-063-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
