Know before you buy
Yes, this is a complete lamp module. The bulb is already mounted inside the housing, which makes the replacement process much simpler and safer than handling a bare bulb.
This is an original OEM lamp module designed specifically for your Sony projector. It uses the same UHP technology as your original lamp to ensure color accuracy and brightness levels match the manufacturer's specifications.
The LMP-C163 is specifically engineered for the Sony CS21 and CX21 projector models. Please verify your projector's model number on the bottom label before purchasing to ensure a perfect fit.
Installation is straightforward and typically requires only a screwdriver. Since the bulb comes in a pre-assembled module, you simply remove the old housing and slide the new one into place, following the steps outlined in your projector's user manual.
Yes. Because this lamp uses the same 165W UHP technology as the original, it will restore the brightness, contrast, and clarity that typically fade as a projector bulb reaches the end of its lifespan.
