Mitsubishi Lamp Replacement for Enclosure 915P049010 Osram
Sponsored by: Discount-Merchant.com – “Your direct source for replacement lamps” – This is a video to show you how easy it is to replace your Mitsubishi lamp code 915P049010 lamp using an OEM Osram lamp. Your enclosure might say 915P04910(O150W). The 915P049010 is the part number and the O150W identifies the type of lamp used O = Osram and 150W obviously means it is a 150 watt Lamp or Bulb. Because the ballast can output 132W, we will be using a 132W/150W 1.0 mm arc ASP Osram lamp. These TVs use the newer, vented lamp from Osram, which is quickly becoming a major competitor to Philips UHP lamp technology.

Great vid. Worked fine for me. Too bad the lamp only lasted 2 days and smelled like hot plastic the whole time.
Did you touch the lamp with your fingers. If so the grease from your fingers caused it to burn up. Same thing happens with stage lights. It’s because the wattage is so high and the lamp burns so hot that the grease cooks the bulb.
Did anyone else notice that he switched the wires when he reattached them?
osram is a cheap brand
@surfjones22 it doesn’t matter which way you have the wires. They are AC lamps so the current flows both ways.
how long do these bulb suppose to last. My first one lasted around 1 year then the next lasted only 5 months. I think it was because the idiot repairman did not use gloves when he changed the bulb. Any idiot knows when you work with a halogen light you do not want your greasy hands on them. I hate to keep replacing them in my mitsubishi
did you notice he used the same bulb also lol. I think he was just showing us how to do it and I appreciate it
make sure every so often you take ur lamp out and blow the dust from the filters.
Thanks thats a great Idea that I had not thought of. I also bought a fan from radio shack and placed it behind the TV so circulate the air. They say heat will also wear out the bulb.
I saw that happen one time when a kid melted legos on a light bulb the kid had to get many stiches
Is there a trick to getting those two big thumb screws on the enclosure to thread into the TV ? I pushed and turned as hard as I could, and never was able to make it happen.I tried with a flat head screwdriver too. My enclosure is in, but those screws are loose. Any pointers?
this is the seocnd time i had to replace he damn tv ~_~ i’m jsut thining of sticking a liek a big ass fas near the ventaleter and anotehr powerfuller and faster fan int eh tv so the air goes faster and idk one bblows another sucks XDD lol(ventaltion)
bulb lasted about 2 years or so, maybe less, just replaced it had trouble putting it back in! after 15 mins I finally got it back in noticing that a plastic tab broke off… So make sure its secure! It might look like it is, but double check carefully!
Thx for vid! easy take apart, a bitch to put the tabs back into its rightful place.
