Lamp unit replacement
period
The lamp is a consumable product.
Even when the full life of the bulb
has not been exhausted, the
brightness of the light wilt gradually
decline. Therefore periodic
repiacement of the lamp is
necessary.
The intended lamp replacement
interval is 2 0O0 hours, but it is
possible that the lamp may need to
be replaced earlier due to variables
such as a particular lamp's
characteristics, usage conditions
and the installation environment.
Early preparation for lamp
replacement is encouraged.
The lamp wilt automatically shut off
when 2 000 hours of use have been
reached because of a much greater
chance of it exploding after this
time.
