It's a sad and irreversible fact of projector ownership that one day, your lamp will fail. Rather than weeping uncontrollably at the loss and blaming yourself for not having seen it coming, avert projector withdrawal by keeping a replacement lamp on hand. Compatible with the Mitsubishi HC5000 Multimedia Projector, this 160W lamp gives you 1000 ANSI Lumens and 2000-5000 hours of life. Imagine all your movies, images, video, and presentations in bright, brilliant color and detail. Then imagine not being able to see them until you get a new projector lamp. You know what to do.
