3M S40 Lamp / Bulb Lamp part number: 78-6969-9463-7 (or EP7640iLK)

For your 3M S40 projector, you can choose from: lamps with housing or bare bulbs from original and generic manufacturers...

If you prefer an easy replacement process, buy a lamp with housing.
Alternatively, choose a bare bulb without housing if you already have experience with replacing bare bulbs and are willing to deal with the more challenging replacement process.
If you do not want to compromise on projection quality and reliability, choose an original manufacturer lamp.
If you prefer a cheaper option and projection quality and reliability are not your top priorities, buy a generic lamp.
A suitable compromise is the original bulb inside option. It provides the same projection quality as an original manufacturer lamp, yet for a better price.

Easy replacement process for everyone

All you need to do is loosen a few screws in the projector, remove the entire lamp housing, and replace it with the new one. You can choose from 2 lamp options - original bulb inside or generic.
