Direct-fit replacement module

The Panasonic PT-VX42U lamp module carries a new 230W UHM bulb inside a complete housing, matching the original ET-LAV300 specification. It is built for owners of the PT-VX42U projector who need a drop-in replacement without separate bulb handling. Installation is a single-step swap that restores the projector to factory brightness.

Rated output and economy trade-off

The 230W lamp delivers 4,000 hours of service in normal mode and extends to 6,000 hours when the projector runs in economy mode. Choosing economy reduces light output to gain the extra runtime, so users must decide whether maximum brightness or longer intervals between changes better suit their schedule. No other power settings or life figures apply to this module.

ISO 9001 build and ready-to-mount housing

Each unit is assembled under ISO 9001 quality control and tested for beam performance, ignition, voltage, connections and run-time. The pre-fitted housing eliminates alignment work and protects the bulb during handling, so the module seats cleanly in the projector’s lamp bay. Buyers who prefer a bare bulb for custom fixtures or who need a different wattage will not be served by this packaged module.

Questions about this item

Which version of the PT-VX42U lamp should I choose among the OEM and compatible options?

Three OEM versions are available: the original bulb manufacturer's lamp, the Panasonic-sold OEM lamp, and an OEM-compatible lamp from another bulb maker. A lower-cost compatible version using genuine OEM parts is also offered.

What does the 230W rating mean for brightness and heat in my Panasonic projector?

The 230W UHM bulb delivers the specified light output for the PT-VX42U. Higher wattage increases brightness and heat, so the projector's cooling system is designed around this exact power level.

How do the 4000-hour normal and 6000-hour economy ratings affect real-world replacement timing?

In normal mode expect about 4000 hours before replacement; economy mode extends this to roughly 6000 hours by reducing lamp power and brightness.
