Ready-to-install lamp module
The Panasonic PT-VW430U OEM replacement lamp arrives as a fully assembled 280W bulb and housing unit. It is designed for users who need a direct swap without handling a bare burner. The module fits the specified Panasonic projectors and is ready for immediate installation.
Thermal output and rated life
The 280W lamp produces typical high-brightness heat; the projector’s own cooling system manages thermals and fan noise during operation. Rated life is 2500 hours in normal mode and 4000 hours in economy mode, giving a clear expectation for replacement intervals.
280W NSHA bulb specification
The lamp uses a Ushio NSHA 280W burner, and the wattage must match the projector’s original requirement for correct ignition and brightness. Buyers whose projector calls for a different wattage or bulb type cannot use this module.

Questions about this item
How do I install the ET-LAV200 lamp module in my PT-VW430U, and what step causes the most trouble?
Power off the projector and let it cool completely, then remove the lamp cover, unscrew the old module, slide the new 280W assembly in until it seats firmly, replace the screws and cover, and reset the lamp timer in the menu — forgetting the timer reset is the step that causes premature replacement warnings.
What maintenance or replacement will this 280W NSHA bulb need after the initial installation?
The lamp itself is the only consumable; plan to replace the whole module again after roughly 2,500 hours in Normal mode or 4,000 hours in Economy mode, and keep the air intake vents clear of dust so the cooling system can protect the bulb.
What limit appears first when the projector runs for long sessions at full brightness?
The 280W NSHA bulb reaches its rated 2,500-hour Normal-mode lifespan first; sustained maximum output accelerates lumen depreciation and brings the replacement interval forward compared with Economy mode.
