I wish they'd settle on a few (maybe 10 or 15 realistically--possibly even
that's more than absolutely necessary) projector lamps and build the units
around them...but no, there are easily hundreds; a different lamp for every
projector.

Second-sourcing would go a long way toward bringing the price down to
realistic levels; but as long as consumers are willing to pay these prices,
it won't happen. It also contributes to obsolescence of the projectors
themselves. As newer models are introduced, eventually the manufacturers
will reduce parts support (including replacement lamps) for the older ones.

For the "exact" model XV-370P the lamp number is CLMPF0022DE04
For the XV-370 (no "P") it is CLMPF0022DE08 but is N/A use substitute.
For the non P model they spec the Lamp w/ cage part number BQC-XVP15U//1

This is from www.tritronicsinc.com

In the reply just before this, somebody else said the bulb was an
"CLMPF0022DE08" I don't want to make an expensive mistake. Who is
right on this one???

I gave you the distributor and the info that they show for this model.
You
should check with Sharp (800-201-3447) or another Sharp authorized
distributor if you want to confirm this info. The DE08 is shown as the
lamp
for the xv-370 without the p suffix. The "p" appears to be the canadian
version. Whether there is a diff in the lamps I do not know.
