The life span of a projector bulb depends are measured in hours and depend on the digital projector they are being used with. On newer models they should normally have a life span of atleast 2000+ hours, with some of the multimedia models ranging to 6000 hours constantly. Models built before 2000 when normally have a life span of around 1000 hours.
When the light begins to dim, the bulb needs replacing and some projectors even have a function on the digital projector to allow you to see how many remaining hours there are. Although they are extremely strong for their intended purpose, they are not very durable at all and they often fall short of their expected life.
Caring for your digital projectors will also ensure get the most out of them. Projector bulbs are like any other electrical bulb, however they generate alot more heat so are much more sensitive especially when in use. Keeping digital projectors cool is probably the most important factor to maximising lamp life. If the bulbs get too hot they are likely to blow.
Make sure the digital projectors have a goog airflow will help to maximise usage. Make sure the projector is kept dirt and dust free and that the room temperature doesn't change durastically. Regularly checking the fan in working sufficiently will also help to prevent mishaps.
Make sure your projector has fully completed the cooling down stage before fully turning them off.
Changing the brightness to as low as possible without affecting the quality of the image can add hours onto your bulb life. Many projectors have an economy mode, using this will allow maximum usage out of your lamps.
When transporting digital projectors try to keep movement to a bare minimum. Always allow enough time to cool before moving. Projector bulbs are very sensitive to movement especially when hot. Also before using again allow the bulbs to adjust to the new temperature before turning on, otherwise it can seriously reduce expected bulb life.
Temperature is probably the most important facor to getting the most from your projector bulbs. If ever leaving in a car etc for any length of time be sure not to leave in direct sunlight or when the temperature is very cold. Also whenever transporting the projector try to avoid direct contact with the glass components unless using a soft cloth. Avoid shaking of the projector at all. - 31846
