Optoma CTX EPH56A 250W lamp

This genuine replacement lamp module delivers a 250W UHP bulb pre‑installed in its housing for Optoma projectors using the CTX EPH56A or SP.86501.001 part numbers. It is built for users who need a ready‑to‑fit light source rated at 2,000 hours of typical operation.

Verify projector model and part number

Before ordering, confirm that your projector’s service manual or label lists CTX EPH56A or SP.86501.001 as the correct lamp assembly. The module arrives fully assembled, so no separate bulb handling is required, but compatibility must match exactly to avoid fit or ignition issues.

Replaces worn or failed original lamp

This unit replaces an aging or expired factory lamp when brightness has dropped or the projector signals a lamp‑end warning. The upgrade is worth it when the existing module has reached or exceeded its 2,000‑hour rating and image quality no longer meets presentation or classroom needs.

Questions about this item

Does the Optoma CTX EPH56A SP.86501.001 lamp arrive as a complete module or do I need to buy a separate housing?

It ships as a fully assembled 250W UHP bulb inside its housing, so no extra parts are required for installation.

What is the difference between the three OEM versions and the compatible version of this CTX EPH56A lamp?

The three OEM versions come from Philips, Osram, Ushio, Phoenix, Iwasaki or Matsushita — either the original bulb maker, Optoma's own supply, or an alternative OEM — while the compatible version is built by a leading third-party using genuine OEM parts.
