Direct-fit lamp module
The Mitsubishi XD520U-G projector lamp ships as a complete module with a new Osram P-VIP 280W bulb pre-installed in its housing. It is designed for users who need a drop-in replacement for a dim or expired lamp in a compatible Mitsubishi projector without sourcing bare bulbs separately.
Fixed 280 watt power draw
The lamp operates at a constant 280W, so the projector must be rated for that wattage and provide matching ignition voltage. Rated life reaches 2000 hours in normal mode and extends to 3000 hours in economy mode; actual hours vary with ambient temperature and power-cycle frequency.
Tool-free housing swap
Installation requires opening the projector lamp door, releasing the module latch and sliding the new unit into place until it seats firmly. Common issues include forgetting to reset the lamp-hour counter in the menu and failing to seat the connector fully, which can cause intermittent ignition.

Questions about this item
Which version of the Mitsubishi XD520U-G lamp should I choose?
Four versions are offered: the original bulb manufacturer's OEM lamp, the Mitsubishi-branded OEM lamp, an alternative OEM lamp from a different bulb maker, and a compatible lamp built with genuine OEM parts by a leading third-party manufacturer.
What does the 280W rating mean once the lamp is installed?
The 280W Osram P-VIP bulb draws 280 watts when running, delivering the brightness and colour performance the projector was designed for at its native power level.

Each lamp is manufactured to ISO 9001 quality standards, which caps production variability so beam performance, ignition voltage, run-time and connections stay within tight tolerances.
