How
to increase the life of projector lamps ?
Lamp
life for a projector will vary based on many factors including
application, installation, intake of cool air and exhaust
of hot air, usage and proper maintenance. Heat buildup can
reduce lamp life and even damage your projector.
Here are some tips to help your projector lamps last longer:
1.
Once you turn on your projector, wait at least five minutes
before turning it off to allow the fan to properly cool
the unit. After the fan has cooled your projector, you
may unplug it and store it as desired.
2.
Do not obstruct the air intake or exhaust vent. Paper
should not 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) stated in your owner's manual must be
maintained.
5.
Clean the projector's air intake filter every three to
six months — or more frequently — based on your
operating environment.
6.
Do not move your projector until the lamp has cooled (about
five minutes).
Schools
and IT departments may wish to print these tips and keep
them with projectors for end users to reference.
