{"product_id":"rlc-086-projector-lamp","title":"RLC-086 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eAt 280 watts, the RLC-086 is one of the higher-power lamps in the Viewsonic PJD range, built for the PJD7223 and PJD7223-1W. Its quoted life is 3000 hours. It's sold bare, meaning the bulb only, so the housing already in your projector stays in place.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eHigher wattage lamps like this one tend to run hotter, so let the projector cool fully before opening the lamp compartment to fit a replacement. The PJD7223 and PJD7223-1W share the identical RLC-086 code, so there's no need to distinguish between them when ordering; just confirm the part number matches what's currently fitted.\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 — 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-10608\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 2 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is the RLC-086 rated at 280 watts when other PJD lamps are lower?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWattage varies by projector model and brightness output; the PJD7223 range is specified for a higher-power lamp than some other Viewsonic units, which is reflected in the RLC-086's rating.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should I let the projector cool before changing this lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGive it several minutes after power-off before opening the lamp compartment. Higher-wattage lamps like the RLC-086 stay hot longer than smaller ones, and opening the compartment too soon risks burns as well as damage to the new lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the PJD7223-1W use a different lamp to the standard PJD7223?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, both use the RLC-086. The \"-1W\" marking identifies a projector variant, not a different lamp, so the same code applies whichever version is printed on your projector's badge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs the RLC-086 bare or does it include a housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's a bare lamp, so you fit the new bulb into your existing PJD7223 housing rather than replacing the whole assembly, which keeps the cost down provided your current housing is still sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat's the rated lamp life on the RLC-086?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e3000 hours at 280 watts is the figure we have on file for this lamp, giving a rough guide to when brightness is likely to have noticeably dropped.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182653583596,"sku":"LA-10608","price":128.27,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/generic-bigbulb.png?v=1786970157","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/rlc-086-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
