When to replace the lamp unit
J
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according to duration of usage, so
periodical replacement of the lamp unit is necessary. The estimated duration before replacement is 3 000
hours for PT-LX351U, 4 000 hours for PT-LX321U, 4 500 hours for PT-LW321U, and 5 000 hours for PT-
LW271U / PT-LX271U. However, this may be shortened depending on individual lamp characteristics, usage
conditions, and the installation environment. Therefore, it is strongly recommended that a replacement lamp
unit be prepared.
When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the warning message appears on the screen.
Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.
