Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically
calculated by the built-in timer. The method of calculating the equivalent lamp hour is as
follows:
Total (equivalent) lamp hour
= 1 (hours used in Economic mode) + 4/3 (hours used in normal mode)
See
"Setting Lamp Mode eco function as Economic or SmartEco mode"
information on Economic mode.
The lamp hour in Economic mode is calculated as 3/4 of that in Normal mode. That is,
using the projector in Economic mode helps to extend the lamp hour by 1/3.
