What is the lamp life of the projector light?
69155
The lamp life should outlast your use of the camera (or several years) There are two other models which have continually improved. this model is the best built of the three but has a smaller LCD. If you get this camera at a good price, its well worth it.

There is no way to tell how many hours are left on the lamp except when it stops working. There is no minute "counter" in the menu setting with these DLP T.V.'s either. That being said, I replaced mine before the lamp burned out and I did notice a dramatic improvement with the picture quality, especially with the brightness of the display. If you want a general rule of thumb with regard to when to replace the bulb, consider and ask yourself if you notice the picture being dimmer that you remember it being when it was newer. If you bulb is more than 3 years old consider replacing with a new on and using the old one as a emergency back up.

I have not used this lamp yet, still in box. The original lamp that came with my EPSON projector, Cinema pro 1080 only lasted 1150 hours. Very happy with EPSON service, outstanding, but would like to see LED based replacement lamps. Longer life, lower power useage and less heat generated.

By the way, the bulb in it is rated for 100,000 hours. Probably about 10,000 years for me!! ;-)

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.

.25A with the projector turned on; .08A if it's just charging. Measured it with my Kill-A-Watt.

Correct. Although the projected lamp life is 10 years or more. Seemingly, this is being done more and more often with LED fixtures.

Assuming a usage of 4hrs/day, it gives 12500 days of use ie roughly 34.25 years. Assuming a usage of 10hrs /day, it gives 5000 days of use ie roughly 13.69 yearsI am not sure if there is documentation explaining about replacing the light, If I am going to be around that long, I would get a new lamp.

According to the label on the lamp, its life span is 40,000 hrs, that gives you about 4.5 years if you leave it on 24/7.So...no, you don't need to replace the bulb, you just have to get a new lamp after 40k hrs.

Hi Edwin, Because there are different factors - such as dust, heat, power interruptions and surges - that can affect lamp life, Sony does not quote a life expectancy for the lamp.There are, however, a couple of things you can do to help ensure you get the most out of the lamp and help improve its life:*Ensure the TV has sufficient ventilation.*Reduce the Brightness and Picture settings on the TV.*Do not unplug the TV from the electrical outlet immediately after turning off.-Anthony

I have heard the bulb will last about 2 years on the average before it has to be replaced. There is also a silver probe that must be replaced when it goes bad. A light will turn on when you have to replace that. I think that may be about 2 years as well. Of course, it depends if you are doing 3 loads per day or 1 load per week.

It depends on how long you've had your projector! Mine is still working but I don't use it but ever now n then but all n all this projector had the longest bulb life which is way I choose it. So if your display isn't showing any more you may want to check the hdmi cable n see if the cord is the problem! If not then your next option is to replace the bulb in the unit or since most projection bulbs are 125 themselves you may as well just by another unit which is what I plan on doing when mine goes! Just let me know how it works out for you!

No.but you don't have to worry about that.the LED will far outlive the projector.at 20k hours, you can use it anywhere from 4 to 10 years.

No idea but the LEDs usually last about 30K hours on the lower end and 100K hours on the higher end.

I have an ELH lamp for my 850H projector. I don't know the answer to the question.

2 lamps I originally bought lasted decades literally. It seems life is based on # of on/off cycles as first that failed was used many more times than second one.Condenser in the lamp failed before the bulb. Condenser creates the charge needed to "start" that type bulb.As with all lamps "life" depends on combination of on/off cycles more than running time "on" because each "on" is a literal SURGE OF ENERGY... I saved the bulb as it was still 'good' ...hope that hekps
