When to replace the lamp unit
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Replace the lamp unit regularly, as its brightness gradually
decreases over time. The estimated duration before replacement is 2 000 hours (when [Lamp power] is set to
standard). However, this may shorten depending on individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions, and the
installation environment. Earlier replacement of lamp units is recommended for this reason.
The duration exceeds 2 200 hours of usage for one lamp, the lamp will be switched to the other one if it is
available.
If the power is turned on without replacing the lamps after the duration exceeds 2 200 hours of usage for all
lamps, the power automatically turns off after approximately ten minutes to prevent the malfunction of the
projector.
