Know before you buy
A bare bulb is just the glass lamp component itself, without the plastic housing or cage. You will need to carefully remove your old bulb from its existing housing and install this new one in its place.
This listing offers both options. You can choose the original OSRAM P-VIP bulb for maximum performance and longevity, or select the generic version if you are looking for a more budget-friendly alternative for casual use.
While you generally do not need specialized equipment, you will need a small screwdriver to open your projector's lamp housing. Because this is a bare bulb replacement, please handle the glass with care and avoid touching it with your bare fingers, as oils from your skin can cause hot spots and premature failure.
P-VIP technology is a high-pressure mercury vapor system designed specifically for high-performance projection. It offers superior brightness, color accuracy, and a more stable light output compared to standard UHP lamps, making it ideal for home theater setups.
No, this bulb is specific to projectors that utilize the OSRAM P-VIP 370/1.0 E20.9C specification. Always check your projector's manual or the label on your current lamp housing to ensure the part number matches exactly before purchasing.
