Replacement lamp for Sony VPL-HS20
This 180 W projector lamp module ships as a complete housing with a Philips UHP bulb installed, ready for tool-free insertion into the Sony VPL-HS20 projector. It restores factory brightness and colour balance without requiring alignment or calibration steps. The unit is manufactured to ISO 9001 quality checks covering ignition, voltage and run-time consistency.
Practical limits of a 180 W UHP lamp
Rated life is 3,000 hours at full power; actual hours vary with usage patterns, ambient temperature and power-cycle frequency. Brightness declines gradually over the lamp’s service period, so plan replacement before critical presentations. The housing fits only the VPL-HS20 chassis; it will not seat in other Sony models or third-party projectors.
Upgrading from a dim or expired original lamp
When the original lamp reaches end of life, image brightness drops below usable levels and the projector may refuse to strike. Swapping in this module returns light output to specification and clears the lamp-hour counter after reset. The jump is worth it whenever the current lamp shows noticeable fading, flicker or a replacement warning on screen.

Questions about this item
Which version of the Sony VPL-HS20 lamp should I pick among the OEM and compatible options?
The supplier offers three OEM versions — the original bulb maker's lamp, the Sony-branded lamp, and an alternative OEM bulb — plus a compatible version built with genuine OEM parts; all are manufactured to ISO 9001 standards and tested for beam performance, ignition, voltage and run-time.
What does the 180W rating mean for brightness and heat in my projector?
The 180W UHP bulb draws 180 watts of power, matching the original specification so brightness and thermal output remain exactly as the projector was designed for.
Does the lamp use a standard connector that fits the VPL-HS20 housing?
Yes, the module arrives as a fully assembled bulb and housing ready for direct installation in the Sony VPL-HS20 without adapters or rewiring.
