Ok I have a lcd projector that takes a 120 watt uhp bulb But I have the opportunity to Buy a 120 watt UH(E) bulb locally But wanted to know if there was a reason why they would neeo be interchangeable. The Bulb and module looks exactly the same exept Mine says 120watt uhP and the one Im considering buying is 120 watt uhE. Any thoughts I would appreciate them. Thanks
Update for UHE/UHP lamp
Hi, so did the substitute lamp work? I just bought a Epson 5500c miniprojector, that takes a 120W UHE lamp. The replacement for this one is at least $300, Ebay or not. There is another lamp offered on Ebay for $60 for a newer model of Epson. It is also rated at 120W UHE but 200 Lumens higher. Since the bulbs are the same but the ballasts are different, I'm going to do a switcharoo just with the bulb. Tell what you think.....

I have the epson 5500C projector and would like to let you guys know that the ELPLP10 will fit the projector. The real lamp "ELPLP06" and the "ELPLP10" lamps are both the same (same rating, lumens, wattage etc).
The only difference is that the plastic that the ELPLP10 has will have to be trimmed to fit into the projector. i have done this already. As we speak the ELPLP10 is in my projector.

Dude, your the man!!!!
Man what a scam this projector industry is! $300 to $400 for a freakin replacement bulb. Give me a break, you know how much profit they are pocketing? Outrageous, it's us DiYourselfer that make these companies grind there teeth. This forum rocks...thanks man, your absolutely the greatest. I think I'm going to ebay to order about 3 of them. That would probably last me like 10 years or so....

thats what i did. got 2 elplp10s and in doing that i found a guy to sell me a elplp06 for $75.00 
projector lamps are scams. manufacturing costs for a lamp is about $50.00 "max" . same goes for rebagged projectors, (rebagged means that the same projector is sold by different companys) there can be a difference of one to two thousand dollars but it still the same projector guts. all these things are scams...

Better substitute!!
I think the ELPLP10 is a better choice than the ELPLP06 is the 10 is made for the newer Epson model. It has the same Wattage and stuff but the newer reflector and newer technology allows it to emit 1000 lumens, that is what the powerlite 710c, the original projector the bulb is intended for. The 5500c is only 650 lumens. So in doing so we just upgraded our projector to an epson 7550c. I think the different model numbers 5500c,5550c,7500c, and 7550c is all the same projector just different lamps. If you think about it, they all draw the same wattage... which is the same looking projector but rated at 1000 lumens. Talked to a friend of mine who's an engineer in the CRT projector world told me that higher lumens does not mean higher heat, they dissipate the same amount of heat, which mean if we can find another Epson bulb the same size but rated at 120W UHE and 1400 lumens, it might make a kick *** projector.....well hate to say this but, another scam in the projector world......

Nope Didnt buy it, I dont have 70 bucks to potentially throw away, and I cant seem to find anything online that says what is the " difference" between the 2 types of Bulbs. Its really retarded that I cant find more info on this. anyways If sometime I do decide to try this, I will post my results, Wonder if using the wrong bulb would permanently destroy my projector? Humm oh well L8er yall.
Adam101,
maybe you didnt read my posts but i said that it does work. you wil not be throwing your money away. you'll be saving about $250.00 - $275.00. Unless you have the $350+ is cost for the actual ELPLP06. i have the lamp in it right now and watching it as we speak. its been 3 - 4 months and i havent had any problems...... so why are you worried?

Going to try
Ordered the bulb from Ebay 2 days ago, when it gets here I will try to ghetto rig it in there, the two plug in prongs are on the left side so I should remove it and put it on the right. Then slide it in and trim plastic. I will post updates and take pictures, I guess that will be enough proof...chiao!!
oh by the way as long as it has same wattage and rating it should be compatable, lumens doesn't matter it generates the same amount of heat plus the projector has a temperature sensor that will shut it down anywayz if it gets too hot. UHP and UHE is the same thing just different names....

OK cool Yea I must have misred your reply, Cool I will buy this and when my current one burns out I will attempt to jurry rig is to work with my Projector, Thanks again for the Info.
hi guys, man you guys are sight for sore eyes (is that expression correct?)
anyway, I have an Epson ELP 3500 that uses the elplp02 bulb (which is 100w UHP) that cost about $300++.
So if what you guys are saying is true, I can buy/use the newer version of the bulb ( which is cheaper I assume) and fit it in the projector and it will work. Is that right?

Don't know, kinda risky
I don't know man, they aren't even shaped the same, at least the 06 and 10 are almost the same ballast and same bulb, but this one is more square and seems much larger....go to epson.com and download the pictures for the 10 and 02 and compare them......Pat

PatrickQ, once you get your bulb please post your results, on how it works. I just thought of something today, I bet you can Remove the Bulb from the Module and use the Old module, thus making is so you dont have to cut things etc. talk to u all later.
Well that was my original plan
I was going to do that until the projector that I ordered had nothing in the lamp slot....so I guess it's snip snip, will post results as soon as I receive the bulb

I don't recomend you change the lamp in your projector to a different lamp unless it is the same voltage, wattage etc. Projectors are built with specific requirements and when these are altered you can burn out the projector's power supply in a second (if not burn out the whole thing).
I don't think you'll be able to remove the actual bulb from the lamp assembly because of the way it is made. It's "cemented" in to the glass housing. You'd have to basically crush the glass housing to get to the bulb (lamp). In doing this I think you'll shatter the bulb or crack it making it worthless. Its also dangerous to do because if the bulb was to burst you'll be in the hospital getting glass fragments removed from your fase and arms. These are high pressure lamps that burst with great force.
just be cautious,

installing it
Hi apo, I got it and I rigged it but the image seems to be a little dim, do I need to have the lamp flush with the light passageway with no gaps?

Weird line to the left of screen
When I project I get this shadow bar to the right of the screen. How do I get rid of this?
