Know before you buy
This lamp uses a GX5.3 2-pin base. While it fits standard MR-16 configurations, you should verify that your projector specifically requires a 17.7V, 120W bulb to ensure proper operation and prevent damage to your equipment.
A CRI of 100 is the highest possible score, meaning this lamp provides perfect color rendering. It ensures that the colors projected on your screen are as accurate and vibrant as the original source material.
No, this lamp is not designed for use with dimmers. It should be operated at its specified voltage to maintain its rated life and performance.
This is a bare bulb replacement only. It does not include the external projector housing or mounting hardware, so you will need to reuse your existing lamp module.
The Ushio EKN has a rated average life of 120 hours. To maximize this lifespan, avoid touching the glass with your bare hands during installation, as oils from your skin can create hot spots that lead to premature failure.
