{"product_id":"rlc-111-projector-lamp","title":"RLC-111 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eEleven different model names sit behind the RLC-111 bulb, spanning Viewsonic's PA500 series, the PJB522S, the TB3514 and TS512A, and the VA16970, VA16971 and VS16971. Despite the varied naming, all eleven take the same bare bulb. We don't hold a wattage or lamp-life figure for this part, so match by model name against the list rather than by spec.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith this many model names covering one lamp, it is worth checking the exact code printed on your projector's base or rear panel, since PA502S, PA502SP, PA502X and PA502XP look alike but are distinct models that happen to share this bulb. This is the bare bulb, sold without housing, for fitting into your existing cage.

The RLC-111 covers all eleven listed models regardless of naming.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs my VA16970 the same as the VA16971 for lamp purposes?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, both take the RLC-111, along with the VS16971, PA500 series, PJB522S, TB3514 and TS512A, so the same bare bulb covers all eleven model names listed for this product.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy are there no wattage or hours figures for the RLC-111?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe don't hold confirmed figures for this part, so we've left them out rather than estimate. The eleven compatible projector models and the part number are accurate.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the RLC-111 include the housing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, this is the bare bulb only. You fit it into the housing already inside your PA500, PJB522S, TB3514, TS512A or VA\/VS series projector, rather than replacing the housing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs there a safe sequence for removing the spent bulb from a PA502S before the RLC-111 goes in?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes: switch off and unplug the projector, then let it cool for at least half an hour before opening the lamp compartment, since a recently used bulb and its housing can stay hot.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182626353388,"sku":"LA-11708","price":201.65,"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-111-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
