Genuine Replacement Lamp for Hitachi Projectors

This 180W UHB lamp module fits Hitachi projectors that use the ED-X8255 designation. It arrives as a complete bulb-and-housing assembly, so no separate handling of the bare bulb is required. The unit is manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards using OEM-sourced components. It restores original brightness and colour performance for classroom, meeting-room or home-cinema installations.

Thermals and Power in Normal Use

The lamp draws 180W during operation, a figure matched to the projector's original power supply and cooling design. Standard projector airflow keeps the module within its thermal limits without additional noise. Rated life is 2,000 hours under typical cycling, after which brightness gradually declines. No extra power or cooling provisions are needed beyond the host projector's stock configuration.

When the Upgrade Is Worth It

This lamp replaces a dimmed or failed original module in compatible Hitachi models, returning image quality to factory specification. It is not suited for users who need a higher-wattage or longer-life alternative than the 180W, 2,000-hour rating provides. Buyers whose projectors require a different lamp code or form factor should verify the exact model number before ordering.

Questions about this item

How do I install the DT00731 lamp module and what step is often missed?

Remove the old module, insert the new 180 W assembly until it clicks, then reset the lamp-hour counter in the projector menu; skipping the reset makes the projector think the old lamp is still fitted.

What maintenance will the 180 W UHB lamp need after the rated 2000 hours?

The lamp itself is not serviceable; once brightness drops near the 2000-hour mark you replace the entire DT00731 module.

What limit appears first during long sessions with the 180 W lamp?

Heat buildup triggers the projector's thermal protection before the 2000-hour rating is reached, causing automatic shutdown until the unit cools.
