Projector Lamp Light Life...??
Hi, I purchased a projector with a lamp life of 3000 hours. We use it about 10 hours a day, so approx. 10 months it should last.. i checked online, and the replacement lamp is $300!!! So I was wondering, what does it mean lamp life? Does it mean, after 3000 hours it won't work at all... or it'll work but not recommended to use because quality has just degraded? I can live with quality degration. Anyone know where to get cheap lamps.. the newer the projector, are the lamps cheaper? Or the older?
Answer:
Usually it degrades and the picture starts getting dimmer and dimmer. Other times the bulb can literally explode inside that wire cage it's mounted in... rare, but it does happen.
You should be able to set your unit for an "extended life" setting for the bulb that reduces the intensity about 10-15%, but almost doubles the life expectancy. It should be an option on your setup menu... usually within the part where you reset the lamp timer.
Try www.purelandsupply.com or www.focusedtechnology.com for replacement units at a better price. 1st lamp life a approximate.
it will very by your power lever / line conditioning
and how much airflow your bulb gets.
The bulb may dim a day or two before it goes but most likely it will just go out on you.
did you get the service plan?
--------
you can extend the life by making sure that the vents on the TV are free of obstruction and by attaching a "Clean Power Center"
