The Christie 03-000709-01P replacement 250W UHP (Ultra High Performance) is a metal halide lamp manufactured by Philips and provided to you by Christie.

This lamp is user replaceable and will last up to 1000 hours (typical).

The benefit of using a UHP lamp in the Christie LX100 and LU77 projectors is that it allows for a smaller and lighter projector (because the power supply is smaller and lighter), a cooler running, quieter, and less expensive-to-operate projector (because of the lower wattage) and longer lamp life (because the stresses on the lamp are reduced).
