When it comes to replacing the projector lamp in your TV or projector, there are two options available. One is the bare lamp and the other is the replacement lamp with housing.

A replacement projector lamp generally comes with a housing unit, which contains the bare lamp. When the lamp dies out with usage, you can either replace the entire housing unit or you can just replace the bare lamp inside the existing housing unit.

Whichever replacement projector lamp you opt for, you will get the same performance from both. However, the cost associated with both varies significantly. It is much less expensive and also much easier to replace the bare projector lamp alone rather than replacing the entire housing unit.

When a projector lamp dies out, it is only the lamp that goes bad, whereas the housing unit remains intact. So, by opting to replace only the bare lamp you can cut the replacement almost by half. Moreover, these housing units are made of plastic. When you use replace just the lamp, you can re-use the whole unit, thus helping the environment.
