Epson ELPLX01WS – Ultra Short-Throw Projector Lens (White)

Product Overview

The Epson ELPLX01WS ultra short-throw projector lens is the white-housing version of Epson's zero-offset 0.35:1 interchangeable lens for Pro Series large-venue projectors rated up to 8,500 lumens. This Epson UST lens projects 100" to 300" images from extremely short distances, suiting low-ceiling rooms, rear-projection cabinets, and stealth ceiling installs. With wide lens shift and a unique zero-offset design, the ELPLX01WS (V12H004Y0A) is built for fixed-install integration and projection-mapping work where standard throw distances will not fit. The white housing matches white Epson interchangeable-lens projectors.

Product Description

The ELPLX01WS delivers a 0.35:1 throw ratio for WUXGA/WXGA content and approximately 0.36:1 for XGA, letting a projector sit close to the screen while filling a large surface. Its zero-offset geometry centers the image with minimal vertical rise, which is what makes flush ceiling mounting and tight rear-projection enclosures workable. Vertical lens shift runs +50% to +67% (horizontal center) with horizontal shift of -10% to +10%, so installers can align the image without moving the chassis. An integrated mount point accepts Epson's optional ELPEC01 external camera for automated color calibration, multi-projector screen matching, tiling assist for edge blends, and stacking assist. The lens is compatible with Epson Pro L Series and PowerLite Pro G7000 Series projectors plus current EB-PU laser models such as the Epson EB-PU2010B laser projector and the Epson EB-PU1008W. For body-only laser platforms, see the Epson Pro L20000UNL, or review the wider Epson projector lineup to verify fitment. The lens ships separately from the projector and is intended for permanent fixed-install use.

FAQ

Which Epson projectors does the ELPLX01WS fit?
It fits Epson interchangeable-lens Pro Series projectors rated up to 8,500 lumens, including Pro L Series, PowerLite Pro G7000 Series, and current EB-PU laser models. Confirm your exact model against Epson's compatibility list before ordering.

How close can the projector sit to the screen?
With a 0.35:1 throw ratio the projector sits very close to the surface, so even a 200"-plus image requires only a short standoff from the wall.

What does zero offset mean for my install?
Zero offset means the projected image rises minimally above the lens centerline, enabling flush ceiling mounting and tight rear-projection cabinets without a large vertical gap.

Is the lens shift powered?
This is a fixed ultra short-throw lens with wide manual lens shift for alignment; it does not zoom. Position the image using the projector's lens shift controls within the published range.

How does the white version differ from the black ELPLX01S?
The optics are identical. The ELPLX01WS has a white housing to match white Epson projectors, while the ELPLX01S (V12H004X0A) is black.

Can it be installed discreetly?
Yes. It can be recessed into a ceiling with only the front element exposed for a stealth finished install.

Is the projector included?
No. The lens is sold separately from the projector body.
