Ready-to-install lamp module

This Panasonic PT-VX500U replacement lamp arrives as a fully assembled 280W bulb and housing, so it fits straight into the projector without extra assembly. The unit uses a genuine Ushio NSHA lamp built to ISO 9001 quality checks for beam performance, ignition, voltage and run-time. It is intended for owners of the PT-VX500U who need a direct, new OEM-specification replacement. Buyers whose projector uses a different lamp code cannot use this module.

Simple swap with basic precautions

Installation consists of opening the projector lamp door, removing the old module and sliding the new one into place until it seats firmly. The only common issue is forgetting to reset the lamp-hour counter in the projector menu after fitting the new unit, which leaves the replacement timer inaccurate. Handle the housing by its frame and avoid touching the bulb glass, as skin oils can shorten the lamp life. No tools beyond a screwdriver for the lamp door are required.

Verify the exact model code first

Before ordering, confirm that your projector is the Panasonic PT-VX500U and that the service manual lists lamp type ET-LAV200. The lamp delivers 2,500 hours in normal mode and 4,000 hours in economy mode, so check which mode you typically run to gauge replacement timing. Ensure the projector’s lamp door and air filters are clean, because restricted airflow can reduce the stated hours. This lamp is not suitable for any other Panasonic model or for projectors that require a different wattage or housing design.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the lamp is operating correctly once installed?

After installation, the projector should power on without error messages and display a bright, stable image; the lamp-hour counter will begin counting from zero toward the 2,500-hour normal or 4,000-hour economy rating.

What comes with the lamp module and is anything else required?

The module includes a new Ushio NSHA 280W bulb pre-assembled in its housing, ready for direct installation; no additional parts are needed.

Which version of the PT-VX500U lamp should I select?

Choose among three OEM versions — direct from the original bulb maker, the Panasonic-supplied unit, or an alternate OEM source — plus a lower-cost compatible version built with genuine OEM parts; all meet ISO 9001 quality checks.
