{"product_id":"tlpl55-projector-lamp","title":"TLPL55 bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eWith thirty compatible projector listings, the TLPL55 is one of the widest-fitting bulbs in the Toshiba range, covering the TLP-250, TLP-260, TLP-550 and TLP-560 families along with their C, D, M and J suffix variants. It is sold bare, for fitting into an existing lamp housing rather than replacing the housing itself.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGiven how many projector models share this bulb, it is worth confirming the exact code printed inside your existing lamp housing reads TLPL55 before ordering, since the TLP-250 through TLP-561 series spans several product generations. Once confirmed, the bulb transfers into your current housing using its original mounting points.\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-10499\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 30 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhy does one lamp cover so many different projector models?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eToshiba carried the same TLPL55 bulb across several generations of its TLP-250, TLP-550 and TLP-560 series, updating the housing and electronics around it while keeping the lamp itself unchanged.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow do I tell my TLP-260 from a TLP-260D or TLP-260M?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe suffix usually denotes a minor hardware or regional variation rather than a different lamp requirement, and all of these variants are listed as compatible with the TLPL55.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs a bare bulb suitable if my projector is quite old?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs long as the existing housing has no cracking, scorching or a loose bulb mount, a bare replacement is normally fine even on an older projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat should I do with the old bulb once removed?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLet it cool fully, avoid dropping or crushing it, and dispose of it through a proper electrical waste or bulb recycling point rather than with general rubbish.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the J suffix models need a different lamp to the others?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo, the J-suffixed models listed alongside the standard TLP-250, TLP-550 and TLP-560 designations all take the same TLPL55 bulb, since the suffix marks a regional variant rather than a hardware change.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182661185772,"sku":"LA-10499","price":144.32,"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\/tlpl55-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
