Lamp information 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: Lamp Usage Time = (hours used in Normal mode) + (hours used in Economic mode) + (hours used in SmartEco mode) Equivalent lamp hour = 1.8*(hours used in Normal mode) + 1.3*(hours used in Economic mode) + 1.00*(hours used in SmartEco mode)
