Sharp NP16FL – 0.76:1 Fixed Short Throw Lens for PX Series

Product Overview

The Sharp NEC NP16FL is a 0.76:1 fixed short throw projector lens for NEC PX Series large-venue installation projectors, including the NP-PX750U, NP-PX803UL, and NP-PX1004UL families. Its short throw ratio lets integrators position high-brightness projectors close to the screen in conference rooms, halls, and exhibition spaces where projection depth is limited, and the lens installs by hand with no special tools. For commercial projector installation around the PX platform, the NP16FL is the factory short-throw fixed optic.

Product Description

Large-venue projection frequently has to work around shallow rooms, low ceilings, and exhibit enclosures. The NP16FL addresses these constraints with a 0.76:1 throw ratio and fixed 11.6mm focal length, producing large images at distances standard zoom lenses cannot achieve while keeping the projector out of sightlines and presenter shadows. Because the optic is a fixed design with no zoom group, it delivers consistent image geometry — image size is set by projector placement, which simplifies repeatable installs in templated rooms.

NEC engineered the NP16FL for tool-free exchange, so end users and technicians can swap lenses between venues in minutes, a practical benefit for rental and staging inventories and multi-room campuses that share projector bodies. Verified compatibility spans several generations of NEC PX installation projectors: NP-PX700W/PX750U/PX800X, NP-PX700W2/PX750U2/PX800X2, NP-PX803UL-BK/WH, and NP-PX1004UL-BK/WH. At just 0.9 kg, the lens adds minimal load to ceiling mounts and rigging calculations, making it one of the lightest short throw projector lens options in the NEC interchangeable lineup.

Key Features

Frequently Asked Questions

Which projectors is the NP16FL compatible with?

The NP16FL fits NEC PX Series installation projectors including the NP-PX700W, NP-PX750U, NP-PX800X (and their second-generation -2 variants), NP-PX803UL-BK/WH, and NP-PX1004UL-BK/WH. Confirm your exact projector model before ordering.

Does the NP16FL have zoom or lens shift?

No. It is a fixed focal length short throw lens. Image size is determined by the projector-to-screen distance, so verify your geometry with the NEC throw distance calculator during system design.

Can I install this lens myself?

Yes. NEC designed the NP16FL for tool-free installation by end users — the lens mounts and exchanges by hand, which also makes it practical for rental and staging changeovers.

Why choose a short throw lens for a conference room?

A 0.76:1 throw ratio lets the projector mount close to the screen, keeping the light path above presenters and out of audience sightlines while still filling a large image area in rooms with limited depth.

Does Creation Networks help with lens selection?

Yes. Send us your projector model, screen size, and room dimensions and our commercial AV team will verify that the NP16FL is the right optic for your installation before purchase.
