NEC Display Solutions NP26LP Replacement Lamp 350W

What the lamp is and who needs it

The NEC NP26LP is a genuine 350W replacement lamp built for the NP-PA622U Advanced Professional Installation Projector. It restores factory brightness and colour accuracy for corporate presentations, classroom displays or home-theatre setups. The module weighs 1.2 units and measures 6.800 by 7.000 units, matching the original housing exactly. Buyers who need a different wattage or a lamp for another projector series cannot use this part.

When to replace and what changes

Swap the lamp when image output dims noticeably or the projector signals end-of-life for the current module. A new NP26LP returns the system to 350W output, delivering up to 3000 hours in normal mode and 4000 hours in economy mode. The jump is worth it when consistent luminosity matters more than extending an ageing lamp beyond its rated span. Installations that run continuously in high-brightness mode will see the shortest interval between changes.

Limits of the lamp interface

The lamp connects through the projector's proprietary socket and draws a fixed 350W; it cannot be dimmed below the two built-in power modes. Economy mode stretches life to 4000 hours but reduces peak brightness accordingly. The physical envelope of 6.800 by 7.000 units defines the only form factor that fits the NP-PA622U lamp cage. No alternative wattage, third-party module or adapter can alter these electrical and mechanical boundaries.
