Genuine 230W DLP Replacement Lamp
This genuine Panasonic ET-LAL500-A lamp and housing module restores brightness to compatible Panasonic projectors. It is intended for owners of supported models who need a factory-specification replacement. Buyers whose projectors use a different lamp code or wattage cannot use this part.
Thermals Noise and Power Draw
The lamp operates at a rated 230 W in full-power mode and is rated for 5,000 hours at that setting. Eco-mode extends the rated life to 8,000 hours while reducing power consumption and heat output. No acoustic or thermal specifications beyond the wattage and hour ratings are provided.
Lamp Code Compatibility
The decisive specification is the exact part number ET-LAL500-A, which must match the projector's required lamp code. Only projectors listed for this code will accept the housing and ignite correctly.

Questions about this item
How do I install the ET-LAL500-A lamp and housing, and what step do people often miss?
Power off and unplug the projector, wait for it to cool completely, remove the lamp cover screw, slide out the old assembly, insert the new ET-LAL500-A housing until it clicks firmly, replace the cover screw, then reset the lamp timer in the projector menu — skipping the timer reset is the common error.
What maintenance or replacement will this 230W lamp need after its rated life?
The lamp is rated for 5,000 hours at full power or 8,000 hours in eco mode; once brightness drops or the projector signals end of life, replace the entire ET-LAL500-A lamp and housing module — no separate bulb change is required.
What limit appears first during sustained use of this 230W lamp?
The 5,000-hour full-power rating (or 8,000 hours in eco mode) is the primary limit; after this the lamp reaches its rated lifespan and brightness declines, requiring module replacement.
