Mitsubishi GX-318 projector lamp
The Mitsubishi GX-318 is a new 180W replacement projector lamp module supplied as a fully assembled bulb and housing. It fits Mitsubishi projectors that use the VLT-XD221LP lamp code and is ready for immediate installation. The lamp delivers 3,000 hours of life in normal mode and 4,000 hours in economy mode. It is built with an Osram P-VIP bulb manufactured to ISO 9001 standards.
Installation and common issues
The lamp module arrives pre-assembled, so no separate bulb handling or alignment is required. Installation typically involves opening the projector's lamp door, removing the old module, and sliding the new unit into place until it seats firmly. The most frequent issue is forgetting to reset the projector's lamp-hour counter after fitting the new module, which can trigger premature replacement warnings. Another common oversight is leaving the lamp door unlatched, which prevents the projector from powering on due to the safety interlock.
Compatibility checks before ordering
Verify that your Mitsubishi projector lists the VLT-XD221LP or GX-318 lamp code in its manual or on the existing lamp label. Confirm the projector accepts a 180W lamp, as using a different wattage can cause startup errors or damage. Ensure the lamp compartment is free of dust and that the air filters are clean, because restricted airflow shortens the new lamp's rated 3,000 to 4,000 hour lifespan. Buyers who need a bare bulb without housing or a different wattage rating should look elsewhere.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the lamp is operating correctly after I install it?
The projector should display a bright, stable image with no flickering or colour shift, and the lamp-hour counter will reset to zero so you can track usage toward the 3,000-hour normal or 4,000-hour economy rating.
What ships with the GX-318 module and do I need any extra parts?
The module arrives as a complete 180 W Osram P-VIP bulb inside its housing, ready for direct installation; no additional components are required.
Which GX-318 version should I choose for my Mitsubishi projector?
The listing covers the OEM unit from the original bulb maker, the Mitsubishi-branded OEM unit, an alternative OEM unit from a different bulb manufacturer, and a compatible third-party build — all use genuine OEM parts and meet ISO 9001 quality checks.
