How Do I Know When My Projector Lamp is Dead?

Often times projectors will have a built in timer that keep tracks of how long your projector lamp has been running inside your projector. Once the timer reaches a certain point, usually a few hours before the expected lamp life, a message will display on your projector screen. The warning message is usually a good indicator that you should jump online and start looking for new projector lamp.

It is possible to get rid of the warning message, you can do this by searching your projector's manual or navigating through the onscreen menu if your lamp is still functioning.

Sometimes projectors will shut the projector lamp down when the timer reaches a certain point, even if it has not been totally exhausted. In these cases, it is useful to reset your lamp hour counter as it may increase the amount of life you get from your projector lamp.

We recommend that if you are using your projector lamp for important presentations, weekly events or even home theater that it is smart to have a back-up projector lamp in stock so that you will not miss a minute without your projector.
