Ready-to-fit Panasonic projector lamp
This new 280W replacement module arrives with the Ushio NSHA bulb already seated in its housing, so it slots straight into the PT-VX505NE without extra assembly. It is aimed at schools, offices and home-cinema owners who need a quick, reliable swap when the original lamp reaches end of life. The unit is built to ISO 9001 quality checks covering beam performance, ignition, voltage and run-time.
Simple installation, one common pitfall
Installation takes minutes: power down, unplug, open the lamp door, release the retaining screws, slide the old module out and insert the new one until it seats firmly. The most frequent issue is forgetting to reset the projector's lamp-hour counter after fitting, which leaves the replacement warning active and can trigger an early shutdown. Always run the reset procedure in the on-screen menu before resuming use.
Check model match and operating mode before ordering
Verify that your projector is the exact PT-VX505NE; other Panasonic models use different lamp codes and will not accept this module. Decide whether you will run in Normal mode for 2,500 hours or Economy mode for 4,000 hours, as the choice affects brightness and replacement planning. Ensure the projector's air filters are clean so the new lamp operates at its rated thermal limits.

Questions about this item
How can I confirm the lamp is working correctly after installing it in my PT-VX505NE projector?
The projector should power on without error codes, display a bright and uniform image, and the lamp-hour counter will begin tracking toward the 2500-hour normal or 4000-hour economy rating.
What components are included with the ET-LAV200 module and is anything else required for installation?
The module arrives as a fully assembled 280W NSHA bulb inside its housing, so no separate bulb, tools or additional parts are needed for installation.
Which version of the PT-VX505NE lamp should I choose among the OEM and compatible options?
All versions meet ISO9001 standards and use genuine Ushio, Philips, Osram or equivalent OEM parts; select the OEM direct-from-manufacturer version for identical-to-original performance or the compatible version for a lower cost.
