3M X56 245W Projector Lamp

The 3M X56 is a 245W replacement lamp module built with a new Philips UHB bulb inside a complete housing. It is designed for users who need a direct, ready-to-install lamp for compatible 3M projectors. The unit arrives fully assembled so no separate bulb handling is required. Rated life reaches 3000 hours in normal mode and 6000 hours in economy mode.

Replaces worn original lamps

This module replaces a depleted factory lamp when brightness drops or the projector signals end of life. The jump is worth it when image quality has faded or the hour counter approaches the 3000 or 6000 hour limits. It restores original output without requiring a new projector purchase. The OEM-grade build matches the original specifications for reliable ignition and voltage stability.

Fits 3M projectors using part 78-6972-0050-5

The lamp slots into the designated compartment and connects to the existing power leads. No extra tools or adapters are needed beyond standard projector access. Installing the assembled housing frees you from aligning a bare bulb and reduces downtime. Buyers who need a different wattage or a bare bulb only should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item

What 3M projector model does the X56 78-6972-0050-5 lamp module fit?

The X56 lamp module is built as a direct replacement for 3M projectors that use part number 78-6972-0050-5, so it fits the X56 series without any adapter or modification.

How is the pre-assembled bulb-and-housing unit installed, and what step do people often miss?

Power off and cool the projector, remove the old lamp cage, insert the new X56 module until it seats firmly, then secure the retaining screws; the step most often missed is resetting the lamp-hour counter in the projector menu after installation.

When will the 245 W Philips UHB bulb need replacement, and what indicates end of life?

Expect roughly 3 000 hours in normal mode or 6 000 hours in economy mode before brightness drops noticeably; the projector will usually display a lamp-warning message when the limit is reached.
