Projector lamps

One of the only user-replaceable parts in a projector, lamps are critical, but they don’t last forever. Here are some tips for extending the lamp life in your projector.

HEAT = BAD


The number one cause of lamp failure is excessive heat. Follow the instructions in the user manual for powering down the projector to ensure adequate cool-down.

TIPS
1. Once the projector is turned on, wait at least 5 minutes before turning it off to allow the fan to properly cool the unit. After the fan has cooled the projector, unplug it and store it as desired.

2. Don’t obstruct the air intake or exhaust vent. Paper shouldn’t be placed on top of a projector or where vents are located.

3. Keep the exhaust vent at least 2 feet from any object.

4. If the projector is built into a compartment, wall, ceiling, or shelf mount, the minimum distance requirement (usually at least 2 feet) listed in the user manual must be maintained.

5. Clean the projector’s air intake filter every 3 to 6 months, or more frequently based on the operating environment.

6. Don’t move the projector until the lamp has cooled (about 5 minutes).

7. Run the projector for two weeks and/or 20 hours shortly after your purchase. If the lamp is defective, it’ll usually fail within the first 10 hours of operation. Lamp warranties typically last just 90 to 180 days from the date of purchase, rather than the first installation.

8. When purchasing a replacement lamp, remove the existing lamp and use the old lamp as a spare. If the projector is new, test the original lamp for two weeks/20 hours before removing and storing it as a spare.
