Optoma EX542 180W replacement lamp

This Optoma EX542 module supplies a new 180W Osram P-VIP bulb inside a complete housing. It fits the specified Optoma projectors and is ready for immediate installation. The unit is built to ISO 9001 quality standards and shipped as a genuine OEM component.

180W power draw and lamp life

The lamp operates at 180 watts and delivers up to 4000 hours in normal mode or 5000 hours in economy mode. Running the projector in economy extends the usable period while reducing brightness and heat output. No additional cooling or power figures are provided.

Replaces a dim or expired EX542 module

Swap this module when the original lamp reaches its rated hours or when image brightness drops below usable levels. The jump is worth it if the projector otherwise meets your needs and you want a direct OEM-spec replacement. It does not add features or increase native resolution.

Questions about this item

How do I install the SP.8EF01GC01 lamp module, and what step is often missed?

The module ships fully assembled with housing, so you only need to open the projector lamp door, remove the old unit, insert the new one until it seats firmly, then close the door and reset the lamp timer in the menu; skipping the timer reset is the step most people forget.

What maintenance or replacement will this 180W P-VIP lamp need later?

After 4000 hours in normal mode or 5000 hours in economy mode the lamp reaches its rated life and the whole module must be replaced; no separate filter or bulb-only change is specified for this model.

What limit appears first during sustained use of this EX542 lamp?

The 180W P-VIP bulb hits its rated lifespan of 4000 to 5000 hours before any other component limit is reached.
