Replacing the Lamp
Lamp replacement period
It is time to replace the lamp when:
• The following message is displayed.
"It is time to replace your lamp. Please contact your Epson projector
reseller or visit www.epson.com to purchase."
The message is displayed for 30 seconds.
• The lamp indicator flashes orange.
• The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
Attention
• The lamp replacement message is set to appear after the following time
periods in order to maintain the initial brightness and quality of the projected
images.
When using Power Consumption continually at Normal: About 3900 hours
When using Power Consumption continually at ECO: About 4900 hours

• If you continue to use the lamp after the replacement period has passed, the
possibility that the lamp may explode increases. When the lamp replacement
message appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if
it is still working.
• Do not repeatedly turn off the power and immediately back on. Turning the
power on and off frequently may shorten the lamp's operating life.
• Depending on the characteristics of the lamp and the way it has been used,
the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp warning
message appears. You should always have a spare lamp unit ready in case it is
needed.
• We recommend the use of genuine EPSON spare lamps. The use of non-
genuine lamps may affect projection quality and safety. Any damage or
malfunction caused by the use of non-genuine lamps may not covered by
Epson's warranty.

• We recommend that you clean the air filter whenever you replace
