How to replace the bulb in a projector lamp?

Bare bulbs are only offered where the installation/ replacement is simple and easy. 
For lamps where the bare bulb installation is not judged as simple, this option will not be offered.

How to take the lamp out of the projector

1. Turn the projector off by pressing the Power button
2. Allow the projector to cool down for 30 - 45 minutes
3. Disconnect the projector from the power cable
4. Unscrew the screws on the lamp compartment cover (figure 1); lift and remove the cover (figure 2)
5. Unscrew the screws on the lamp module (figure 3)
6. Lift up the handle on the lamp (figure 4) and pull the lamp out slowly and carefully.

How to replace the bulb on the lamp

Always use the appropriate tools to uninstall and install the bulb. In most cases you will only require standard screwdrivers but in rare cases, security tools are necessary.

Before you start we recommend you have a good look at your current lamp and make a note of how it is assembled, in particular where the positive and negative terminals are and how they are connected.
If necessary, take a picture so you can check back while installing the new bulb.

Take your time!

1. Unscrew the wires connected to the bare bulb on your lamp, remembering where they should be connected on the new bulb.
2. Remove the retaining clip that is holding your old bare projector lamp in place and remove the old bulb.
3. Carefully place the new bulb in the module (use gloves!) and fasten the retaining clip.
4. Screw the wires onto the new bulb one by one, taking care not to mix the negative and positive terminals (mixing the terminals will cause the lamp not to function and may invalidate the warranty).

Take care and time when unscrewing and screwing bolts.  Over tightening the mainbolt on some lamps can cause overstress on the ceramics and cause them to crack.  This once again is not covered under the warranty.
