{"product_id":"sp-72j02gc01-projector-lamp","title":"SP.72J02GC01 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eTwo Optoma home cinema projectors, the HD142X and the HD27, take this SP.72J02GC01 bulb. It is the bare lamp only, meant to sit inside the housing your projector already carries rather than arrive pre-fitted in a new module. Both are popular budget home cinema models, and this bulb is the part that actually produces the picture inside either one.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis same bulb is also catalogued as BL-FU195C, and we list the identical lamp with a complete housing separately for anyone whose existing module has failed rather than just the bulb inside it. If you are unsure which you need, a cracked cage or broken socket points to the housed version.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\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-11283\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\u003eWhat is the difference between SP.72J02GC01 and BL-FU195C?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThey describe the same bulb. SP.72J02GC01 is one manufacturer code for it; BL-FU195C is used for the version we sell complete with a housing. The glass and burner inside are the same lamp either way.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eShould I buy the bare bulb or the version with a module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChoose the bare bulb if your projector's existing housing and socket are undamaged, since it simply reuses what is already fitted. If the housing itself is cracked, discoloured or the connector is loose, the housed version replaces both together.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this lamp shared between the HD142X and HD27?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. Optoma fitted the same SP.72J02GC01 bulb to both the HD142X and the HD27, so the same replacement lamp is correct regardless of which of the two projectors you own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I fit a bare bulb like this one safely?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet the projector cool fully before opening the lamp compartment, then avoid touching the bulb's glass with bare fingers, as skin oils can shorten its life. Handle it by its base or housing edge and seat it firmly before securing any retaining screws.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to reset the lamp hour counter after replacing this bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, the HD142X and HD27 both track lamp hours and will keep counting from where the old bulb left off unless you reset the counter through the projector's menu after fitting the new lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182570418412,"sku":"LA-11283","price":117.86,"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\/sp-72j02gc01-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
