{"product_id":"vlt-xd221lp-projector-lamp-module","title":"VLT-XD221LP projector lamp with module","description":"\u003cp\u003eFour Mitsubishi models — the GS-316, GX-318, SD220U and XD221U — share the VLT-XD221LP lamp engine, rated at 180 watts with a 3,000-hour service life. This listing is the full module, bulb and housing together, so it goes straight into the lamp bay in place of the worn unit without any need to salvage parts from the old assembly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis module pairs with a bare-lamp version of the identical VLT-XD221LP if you'd rather reuse your existing housing — check both listings against your model before deciding. GS-316 and GX-318 badges cover the same four-model range as SD220U and XD221U, so any of those names on your projector's label points to this lamp.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAt a glance\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWattage\u003c\/strong\u003e — 180 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 — Projector Lamp with Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSKU\u003c\/strong\u003e — LA-09530\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e — 4 projector models\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIf my GS-316's housing is still good, is there a cheaper VLT-XD221LP option?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes, VLT-XD221LP is also listed as a bare lamp for anyone whose existing housing is still sound. This module version is the better choice if your current housing is cracked, discoloured, or has damaged connector pins.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes GS-316 use the same lamp as XD221U?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. GS-316, GX-318, SD220U and XD221U are the four model names covering this one Mitsubishi lamp platform, so VLT-XD221LP fits all of them regardless of which name appears on your projector.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHow long does the VLT-XD221LP last?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIt's rated for 3,000 hours at its 180-watt setting. Many projectors remain usable somewhat beyond that figure, though brightness and colour accuracy typically decline as the lamp approaches and passes its rated life.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to reset the lamp timer after installing this?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMost Mitsubishi SD220 and XD221 models need the lamp-hour counter reset manually from the menu system once the new module is fitted, so the projector doesn't continue to flag the old lamp as overdue.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat safety steps come before installing the VLT-XD221LP module?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eConfirm the projector is powered down and unplugged, then let it cool fully before opening the lamp panel, since the housing can stay hot for some time after use. Handle the new module by its frame rather than the glass.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lamps Authority","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48182639165676,"sku":"LA-09530","price":117.86,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0844\/5535\/8700\/files\/35084-xl.png?v=1786965260","url":"https:\/\/www.lampsauthority.com\/products\/vlt-xd221lp-projector-lamp-module","provider":"Lamps Authority","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
