Ready-to-install projector lamp module
This ViewSonic RLC-004 replacement lamp arrives as a fully assembled 165W bulb and housing unit, so it fits directly into compatible ViewSonic projectors without extra assembly. It is intended for owners who need a straightforward, drop-in replacement when the original lamp reaches end of life. Buyers who require a bare bulb without housing or a different wattage should look elsewhere.
Thermals and power in normal use
The lamp draws 165W during operation and is rated for 2000 hours of service life under standard conditions. Because the module uses a Philips UHB bulb built to ISO9001 quality checks, ignition voltage and beam performance remain stable throughout the rated period. No separate cooling or power-supply guidance is provided in the specifications.
What the bundled components change
The package includes the complete lamp module — bulb plus housing — eliminating the need to handle a fragile bare bulb during installation. Each unit undergoes checks for appearance, connections and run-time before shipping, and the order is backed by a 180-day warranty and a 30-day return window. No software, cables or additional accessories are mentioned.

Questions about this item
How do I install the RLC-004 lamp module and which step is often missed?
Power off and unplug the projector, let it cool completely, remove the lamp cover screws, pull the old module out by its handle, insert the new housing until it clicks firmly into the connector, replace the cover, then reset the lamp timer in the projector menu — skipping the timer reset is the step most users forget.
What maintenance or replacement will this 165W UHB lamp need later?
The lamp is rated for 2000 hours of use; after that the bulb dims and must be replaced as a complete module — no separate bulb swap or filter cleaning is required for this unit.
What limit appears first during sustained use of this 165W lamp?
The 2000-hour rated life is the primary limit; extended sessions also raise internal temperature, so keeping the projector vents clear prevents premature dimming or shutdown.
