Replacement Lamp for NEC Projectors
This new OEM replacement module fits NEC projectors that use the NP-PA500UJL lamp, also referenced as NP21LP. It arrives as a fully assembled 230W UHP bulb inside its housing so installation is straightforward. The lamp is rated for 3,000 hours of typical use. It is intended for owners of compatible NEC models who need a direct replacement.
Practical Limits of UHP Lamp Life
The 3,000 hour rating represents expected runtime under normal operating conditions before brightness drops to half of its initial output. Actual lifespan varies with power settings, ambient temperature and how often the projector is switched on and off. Frequent short cycles reduce total hours more than continuous operation. The lamp cannot be user-serviced once the bulb reaches end of life.
Build Quality and Daily Implications
Each unit is manufactured to ISO9001 standards and undergoes checks for beam performance, ignition, voltage, appearance, connections and run time. The pre-assembled housing eliminates the need to handle a bare bulb during replacement. OEM versions use bulbs from Philips, Osram, Ushio, Phoenix, Iwasaki or Matsushita, while compatible versions use genuine OEM parts from leading third party makers. The module is ready to install on arrival.

Questions about this item
Which version should I pick among the OEM and compatible options?
The listing offers three OEM variants — direct from the bulb maker, the NEC-branded unit, and an alternate OEM source — plus a third-party compatible built with genuine OEM parts; all are built to ISO 9001 standards and tested for beam performance, ignition, voltage, appearance, connections and run-time.
What does the 230 W rating mean when the lamp is running in my projector?
It draws 230 watts of power during operation, which determines the brightness output and the heat the projector's cooling system must handle.
What interface or standard governs this lamp and what does it limit in practice?
The lamp follows the UHP type standard and is rated for 3,000 hours of life; the projector's lamp timer and power supply enforce that limit.
