{"product_id":"sp-8ns01gc01-projector-lamp","title":"SP.8NS01GC01 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis bare version of SP.8NS01GC01 supplies just the bulb for the Optoma MX500, without a replacement housing. It is intended for projectors whose existing cage is still in good condition, since only the lamp itself is being renewed. No wattage or rated hours are published for this lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe MX500 is the only projector listed against this part, so there is one clear check before ordering: confirm your projector's model badge reads MX500. A housed module is also available under the same code if you would rather replace the housing as well.\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-09806\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\u003eShould I inspect my MX500's housing before ordering the bare lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt is worth checking the reflector for cracks, cloudiness or scorch marks first. If the housing looks damaged, the fully housed SP.8NS01GC01 module would be the safer option instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes the bare bulb come with fitting instructions?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGeneral fitting steps are covered in your MX500's manual, since the lamp access panel and release mechanism are part of the projector's own design rather than something specific to this listing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this the same lamp used in Optoma's other MX-series models?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe list SP.8NS01GC01 against the MX500 specifically, so we would not assume compatibility with other MX-series projectors without confirming the model number on your unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy is there no lamp life figure for this bulb?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eOptoma has not published a rated hours figure for the SP.8NS01GC01, so none appears here. Watch for dimming or a lamp warning light as a practical guide instead.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat tools do I need to fit a bare bulb into the MX500?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTypically just a small screwdriver, since the lamp compartment on the MX500 is designed for straightforward access. Always let the projector cool fully and disconnect it from power before opening the panel.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182612001004,"sku":"LA-09806","price":119.1,"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-8ns01gc01-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
