Direct replacement module
The OP315ST lamp module fits Optoma projectors that use the SP.8JA01GC01 part number. It arrives as a fully assembled 230W bulb and housing so installation requires no extra tools or alignment steps. The unit is manufactured to ISO9001 quality standards and uses a genuine Philips P-VIP bulb. Buyers who need a different wattage or a bare bulb without housing cannot use this module.
Thermal behaviour and power draw
In normal mode the lamp runs at 230W and is rated for 3000 hours of operation. Switching to economy mode extends the rated life to 4000 hours while reducing power consumption and heat output. The projector’s own cooling system handles airflow and noise; the lamp itself adds no moving parts. Users who require longer continuous run-times without a cool-down period should verify the projector’s duty-cycle limits.
Upgrade context
This lamp replaces a spent or dimming original module in compatible Optoma projectors, restoring factory brightness and colour accuracy. The jump is worth it when the existing lamp has reached its rated hours or when image quality has degraded below acceptable levels. It is not a brightness upgrade beyond the projector’s original specification, and it does not add features such as wireless connectivity or lens shift.

Questions about this item
How do I install the OP315ST lamp module, and what step do people often miss?
Power off and unplug the projector, let it cool completely, then remove the lamp cover and old module; insert the new pre-assembled housing until it clicks, replace the cover, and reset the lamp timer in the menu — skipping the timer reset is the step most often missed.
What maintenance or replacement will the OP315ST lamp need later?
The P-VIP 230W bulb is rated for 3000 hours in normal mode or 4000 hours in economy mode; once brightness drops or the projector warns of end-of-life, replace the entire lamp module again.
What limit appears first during sustained use of the OP315ST lamp?
The 3000-hour normal-mode rating (or 4000 hours in economy) is the primary limit; extended sessions also raise internal temperature, so ensure ventilation stays clear to avoid premature aging.
