About the Ushio EYB 82V / 360W 3300K Halogen Projector Lamp
The Ushio EYB is a high-performance halogen lamp engineered specifically for use in LCD and DLP data/video projectors from various manufacturers. Operating at 360 watts with a voltage rating of 82 volts, this lamp serves as the high-intensity light source critical for generating bright, visible images on screen. It is designed with a precise arc gap and filament alignment to ensure optimal light collection and focus within the projector's complex optical engine, directly impacting the final image's brightness uniformity and color temperature. The lamp produces a color temperature of approximately 3300K, which delivers a warm white light that projector optics and color wheels are calibrated to balance, contributing to accurate and consistent color reproduction throughout the lamp's operational life.
This replacement lamp module is constructed as a complete, safe-to-handle assembly, which includes the quartz halogen bulb permanently sealed inside a durable metal housing with an integrated reflector and a front glass lens. The reflector is a key component, designed to efficiently direct the omnidirectional light from the filament forward into the projector's light tunnel or integrator rod. The module features a specific base and connector that ensure electrical compatibility and correct physical orientation when installed into the designated projector model, preventing incorrect installation. Users must handle the module with care, avoiding contact with the glass envelope, as oils from skin can create hot spots that lead to premature bulb failure due to quartz crystallization and imbalance.
The Ushio EYB lamp is a consumable component with a finite lifespan, typically rated for several thousand hours of operation, often with an eco-mode available in the projector's settings to extend this duration. Its reliable performance and consistent output make it a trusted OEM-quality replacement for maintaining the original luminance and image quality of the projector. When the lamp reaches end-of-life, it will typically trigger a warning message on the projector, indicating the need for replacement to avoid sudden failure during use. For facilities relying on projectors for presentations, education, or entertainment, using a genuine Ushio replacement lamp ensures that the system continues to deliver the bright, clear visuals it was designed for, with the reliability expected from a leading manufacturer of specialty lighting.
