{"product_id":"vlt-hc7800lp-projector-lamp","title":"VLT-HC7800LP bare projector lamp","description":"\u003cp\u003eMitsubishi's HC7800 and HC8000 home-cinema projectors, including the HC7800D, HC7900DW and HC8000D-BL variants, all take the VLT-HC7800LP bare lamp. Rated at 240 watts with a 3,000-hour service life, it supplies the bulb only, ready to slot into the housing your projector already carries. Nine models across the HC77 and HC8000 lines share this specification.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause this is the bare-bulb option, you'll need a working housing already fitted in the projector; if yours has a cracked cage or scorched connector, look at the module version instead. VLT-HC7800LP is the only code Mitsubishi assigns to this lamp, so ordering by that part number is the most reliable way to get the correct match for any HC7800 or HC8000 unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 240 W\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRated life\u003c\/strong\u003e — 3,000 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-09493\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 9 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhich Mitsubishi models use the VLT-HC7800LP lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt fits nine home-cinema projectors: the HC77-70D, HC7800, HC7800D, HC7800DW, HC7900DW, HC8000, HC8000-BL, HC8000D and HC8000D-BL. These share a single lamp platform despite their different suffixes, so any of these models takes the same bare bulb.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat am I actually getting when the VLT-HC7800LP is described as bare?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe bulb and burner unit on its own, without the plastic cage or housing frame. It is meant to be fitted into the housing already inside your HC7800 or HC8000 projector, rather than replacing that housing entirely.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long should the VLT-HC7800LP last before it needs replacing?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt carries a rated life of 3,000 hours at its 240-watt setting. Picture quality typically starts to dim before that figure is reached, so treat the rating as a guide for when to budget a replacement rather than a hard cut-off point.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to reset anything after fitting a new lamp?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost Mitsubishi HC7800 and HC8000 models track lamp hours internally and need the counter reset from the service or lamp menu once the new lamp is installed. Check your specific model's manual, since the reset sequence differs slightly between firmware versions.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs VLT-HC7800LP the genuine Mitsubishi part number?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, VLT-HC7800LP is the manufacturer's own code for this lamp, not a rebadged or third-party reference. We list the lamp under that part number because it is the one printed on Mitsubishi's own documentation for the HC7800 and HC8000 series.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182635069676,"sku":"LA-09493","price":117.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/23653-lg.png?v=1786957076","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/vlt-hc7800lp-projector-lamp","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
