About this lamp

This is an Original Inside lamp for Epson projectors that take the ELPLP78, ELPLP87 or ELPLP88 lamp (Epson part numbers V13H010L78, V13H010L87 and V13H010L88). Inside is a genuine Epson 200W bulb, the part that produces the light, fitted in a new, precision-made housing. You get the brightness, color and lamp life of the original Epson lamp at a lower price, and it slides straight into the lamp bay with no rewiring.

Original Inside or Compatible?

Original Inside is the choice if you want genuine Epson bulb performance, and it comes with a 180-day warranty. If you'd rather spend less, our compatible lamp for the Epson H550C uses a quality third-party bulb in a new housing, built to match Epson's specification, with a 120-day warranty.

When to replace the lamp

Epson projectors tell you when the lamp is near the end of its life: you'll see a "Replace the lamp" message when you switch on, and the lamp indicator may flash orange. Before that, most people notice the picture getting dimmer or colors looking washed out. If the projector won't light at all and the lamp indicator is red, the lamp has usually failed.

How to fit it

Switch the projector off, unplug it and let it cool for at least an hour. Undo the lamp cover screw, loosen the screws holding the old lamp and lift it out by the handle. Push the new lamp firmly into place, tighten the screws and refit the cover securely – Epson projectors won't power on if the cover isn't closed properly. Finally, reset the lamp timer: on most Epson models it's under Menu > Reset > Reset Lamp Hours, so the projector stops showing the replacement warning.

Questions

How do I know this is the right lamp? Check the model name on your projector, or the part number on the old lamp – if it shows ELPLP78, ELPLP87, ELPLP88 or V13H010L78/87/88, this lamp fits. If you're still not sure, contact our sales team and we'll confirm the right lamp for you.

Is the bulb really genuine? Yes – the bulb is a genuine Epson bulb. Only the housing it sits in is new and made by a third party, which is why it costs less than a full original Epson lamp.

Can schools and colleges order on a purchase order? Yes – government and education purchase orders are welcome. Email or call us and we'll set it up.

What if there's a problem? Original Inside lamps have a 180-day no-quibble warranty: if there's a problem in that time, we'll replace it.
