Epson ELPLU05 – Short-Throw Zoom Projector Lens

Product Overview

The Epson ELPLU05 is a short-throw zoom projector lens engineered for Epson Pro L-Series large-venue laser projectors. With a 0.91–1.09 throw ratio, this short-throw zoom lens places very large images on screen from a relatively close projector position. It is an interchangeable lens built for the Pro L25000U and Pro L30000U platforms, making it a practical choice for rental and staging, auditoriums, and short-throw fixed installs.

Product Description

The ELPLU05 covers a throw ratio of 0.91 to 1.09 (referenced to a 200-inch screen), giving integrators a short-throw zoom range that suits rooms where the projector must sit close to the screen. As an interchangeable lens for the Pro L-Series, it allows a single chassis to be re-purposed across multiple venues simply by swapping optics. The lens offers vertical lens shift of +55% and horizontal lens shift of +/-25%, supporting accurate image placement without repositioning the projector body. Its F-number ranges from 2.4 to 2.6 across the zoom range. This lens is well suited to rental and staging crews who need a short-throw option that pairs with the high-output Pro L-Series laser engines, as well as fixed installs in lecture halls and houses of worship where projector placement is constrained. It is compatible with the Epson Pro L25000U, Pro L30000UNL, and Pro L30002UNL large-venue laser projectors. Integrators can review the broader Epson projector lineup for the matching chassis, and consider the Pro L20000UNL platform for lower-lumen requirements.
