Some Projectors get tremendous Lamp Life in eco-mode with smart management
Despite the general trend of 4000 / 6000 hours in eco modes, there are some even longer. More projectors are adding hours to their lives by being smart.
Turning off projectors automatically under various circumstances, isn’t new, but what is new these days, is that some projectors will kick into an idle mode while still on, saving electricity, and not hurting the lamp as much. Typically those are modes claiming over 6000 hours, and most recently I’ve seen a 10,000 hour claims.
Thank these projectors for extending life by “observing” the type of usage, and powering to low levels when the projector is essentially idle. It might even kick in if there’s legitimate content up there, but if the content hasn’t changed for a period of time.
The thing is, to get those maximum hours, they aren’t talking about fully utilizing the projector for that many hours. It might get you there, because you forgot to turn off the projector for hours at a time. Most projectors do have some sort of timer or power down option if there is no active source. But powering down doesn’t buy you more hours of life because technically the projector is off. But dropping down to a really dim image for 6 hours, counts those hours while you are not using the projector.
Let’s just say one needs to appreciate which number mean what…
If operational costs are an issue for you, and you are a heavy users – say 1500 hours a year or more, then lamp life and replacement lamp costs can be a significant issue. For home theater users, some will replace before the half life, because they need all available lumens, and don’t want it ever to drop down a full 50%.
Don’t take that price mention as a fixed price for lamps…
