{"product_id":"sp-lamp-042-projector-lamp","title":"SP-LAMP-042 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eThis bare bulb supplies just the SP-LAMP-042 lamp, for the Ask A3200 and seven related Infocus models: A3200, IN3104, IN3108, IN3184, IN3188, IN3280 and WS3240. It is rated at 280 watts with a 2,000-hour life, intended for fitting into a housing you already own rather than replacing it.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNote that this is a different part from SP-LAMP-041, which serves the separate A3100 and A3300 range, so the two should not be swapped even though the model families look similar. As a bare bulb, check your existing housing for cracks or a clouded lamp window before ordering; a module with new housing is available under the same SP-LAMP-042 code if needed.\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 — 2,000 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-08099\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 8 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow can I be sure I need SP-LAMP-042 and not SP-LAMP-041?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCheck your projector's exact model number.
