Sixteen Mitsubishi projectors run on the same 280-watt engine sold under the VLT-XD520LP code, spanning the short-throw XD500ST through to the EX52U and EX53U business models. This version ships as a complete module, with the bulb already mounted in its housing and cage, so it drops straight into the lamp bay without needing the old housing transferred across. Rated life is 2,000 hours.
Buying the module version means you don't need to inspect your existing housing for cracks or worn latches, since a fresh one is included. Mitsubishi lists this lamp under a single code, VLT-XD520LP, across every model in the XD520 and XD530 range, along with the MD-550X and MD-553X badge variants, so ordering by that number is straightforward once your model is confirmed.

Common questions
Is VLT-XD520LP a full replacement or just the bulb?
This listing is the complete module: bulb, housing and cage together. It replaces the whole lamp assembly, so there is no need to remove the bulb from your old housing or reuse any existing parts.
My projector is badged MD-550X — is that the same as XD520U?
Yes. MD-550X and MD-553X are alternate model names Mitsubishi used for the same XD520 chassis in certain markets, and both take the VLT-XD520LP module without any change to the lamp itself.
What is the difference between the XD500ST and XD520U?
The XD500ST is a short-throw variant of the same underlying design as the XD520U, and Mitsubishi built both around the identical 280-watt lamp engine. VLT-XD520LP fits either model, along with the related XD500U-ST and XD530 versions.
How often does this lamp typically need replacing?
It carries a 2,000-hour rated life at full brightness. Running the projector in an eco or low-brightness mode can extend that figure somewhat, though we can't state an exact number since actual life depends on how the unit is used.
Do I need any tools to fit the module?
Most Mitsubishi XD520 and EX52 models secure the lamp module with a couple of captive screws accessible from a panel on the casing, so a small screwdriver is usually all that's needed. Always power down and let the unit cool first.
