Barco G100-W16 17,200-Lumen WUXGA Laser Projector (No Lens) - R9009901

Product Overview

The Barco G100-W16 is a 17,200-lumen single-chip laser phosphor installation projector built for large venues that need dependable brightness and long maintenance intervals. It is well suited to permanent installs in auditoriums, planetariums, domes, themed attractions and projection-mapping environments, delivering WUXGA (1,920 x 1,200) resolution from a sealed 0.96-inch DLP core. The laser phosphor light source runs up to 20,000 hours with no lamp changes, lowering maintenance and consumable costs across the install's lifespan. With 360-degree orientation and embedded warp and blend, it supports demanding multi-channel projects.

Product Description

The G100-W16 is the entry point of Barco's G100 single-chip series at 17,200 ISO lumens, sharing the same WUXGA platform, sealed DLP core and feature set as the brighter models. As shown in the product gallery, the chassis uses a stable lens holder that keeps blended, multi-channel images fixed in position, which is essential for domes and edge-blended canvases. A broad GC-lens range covering throw ratios from 0.38:1 (FLDX ultra-short-throw) up to 10.8:1 allows the projector to adapt to compact rooms and long-throw auditoriums alike. Integrators configure installation, blending and warping through Barco's Projector Toolset software. When more output is needed, compare the Barco G100-W19 19,000-lumen model or the Barco G100-W22 22,000-lumen model, all part of our Barco collection. This unit ships as a body only with no lens, so the appropriate GC or FLDX lens should be specified separately.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the G100-W16 include a lens? No. This is the R9009901 body-only configuration. A GC-series or FLDX lens must be ordered separately based on your throw distance and screen size.

How bright is the G100-W16? It is rated at 17,200 ISO lumens, suitable for large screens in controlled or moderate ambient light environments.

How long does the laser light source last? The laser phosphor source is rated for up to 20,000 hours of operation with no lamp changes, which significantly reduces maintenance over a permanent install.

Can it be mounted at any angle? Yes. The G100-W16 supports full 360-degree rotation with no orientation restrictions, making it suitable for dome, tilted and inverted mounting.

Is it suitable for edge-blended multi-channel projection? Yes. It includes embedded warp and blend, a stable lens holder for fixed images, and is configurable through Barco Projector Toolset for planetariums, domes and projection mapping.

How does it compare to the G100-W19 and G100-W22? All three share the same WUXGA platform and feature set; the difference is brightness (17,200 vs 19,000 vs 22,000 ISO lumens), so you can match the model to your ambient light and screen size.
