Replacement Lamp for Dell Projectors

This Dell 468-8987 module is a new 280W projector lamp assembly that includes a Philips UHP bulb pre-mounted in its housing. It is designed for owners of compatible Dell projectors who need a direct replacement without sourcing a bare bulb and cage separately.

Installation and Compatibility Notes

The lamp arrives fully assembled so it slides into the projector without extra tools or alignment steps. Buyers should note that several OEM and compatible versions exist for this part number; the specific bulb manufacturer may vary depending on stock. It is not suited for users who want to replace only the bare bulb or who need a lamp for a non-Dell projector.

Runtime and Operating Modes

In normal mode the lamp is rated for 2,000 hours of use, while economy mode extends the rating to 2,500 hours. Brightness and power draw will differ between the two settings, so sustained output depends on which mode the projector runs. The module is built to ISO9001 quality standards and tested for ignition, voltage stability and run-time consistency.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the 280W lamp is operating correctly after installation?

The projector should display a stable, bright image without flickering, and the lamp-hour counter will begin tracking toward the 2,000-hour normal or 2,500-hour economy ratings.

What does the Dell 468-8987 module include, and is anything else required?

It ships as a complete assembly with the Philips UHP 280W bulb already mounted in its housing, so no separate parts or tools are needed for installation.

Which version of the 468-8987 should I select for my projector?

All four versions — three OEM options from Philips, Osram, Ushio, Phoenix, Iwasaki or Matsushita plus one compatible — meet ISO 9001 standards and deliver the same 280W output and rated lamp life.
