Owners of the Mitsubishi SD220U, XD221U, GS-316 and GX-318 who want to reuse their existing housing can order VLT-XD221LP as a bare lamp — the bulb and burner alone, without a cage or frame. It carries the same 180-watt, 3,000-hour rating as the module version of this lamp, the difference being that here you supply the housing yourself from your current unit.
Before choosing the bare option, inspect your current housing and connector for cracks, warping or scorch marks — any of those point to the module version instead. Provided the housing is sound, this bare VLT-XD221LP drops straight in, and it covers exactly the same four models as its module counterpart: SD220U, XD221U, GS-316 and GX-318.

Common questions
How do I decide between the bare lamp and the module?
If the housing, cage and connector from your current lamp are undamaged, the bare version saves you from paying for housing parts you don't need. If there's any cracking, discolouration or damage, order the module version instead.
Will this fit a projector labelled GX-318?
Yes. GX-318 is one of four Mitsubishi model names — alongside GS-316, SD220U and XD221U — that all share this exact lamp platform, so VLT-XD221LP is the correct bare bulb for any of them.
Is the bare lamp harder to install than the module?
Not particularly, though it does mean opening your existing housing to swap the bulb rather than dropping in a sealed unit. Follow the sequence your Mitsubishi manual sets out, and let the projector cool fully before starting.
What voltage or wattage does this lamp run at?
VLT-XD221LP runs at 180 watts, matching the factory specification for the SD220U, XD221U, GS-316 and GX-318 models. Using a lamp at a different wattage than the projector expects is not something we'd recommend.
Can I tell how many hours are left on my current lamp?
Most Mitsubishi projectors in this range display accumulated lamp hours somewhere in the on-screen menu, often under a status or maintenance section. Checking that figure against the 3,000-hour rating gives a rough sense of how much life remains.
This is a bare lamp — the bulb only. You reuse the housing already fitted in your projector.
