LAMP REPLACEMENT LAMP LIFE OF PHILIPS PLATINUM 500L FLEX = UP TO 4,000 HOURS
Lamp hours are calculated in real time by a smart algorithm combining periods of full output
and periods of hibernation with the shutter closed. To reach 4,000 hours the fixture must
be operated in average entertainment usage patterns that contain cycles of closed shutters
to enter hibernation mode. On average this will allow to the fixture to reach 4,000 hours
under common entertainment operation cycles as defined by Philips as 30% operation, 70%
hibernation. In the rare case that the fixture would be turned on, shutter opened and never
closed again the lamp life is 1,500 hours. Lamp life idle, total time and an estimated total lamp
life % are provided in the display of the fixture.
LAMP PROTECTION CIRCUITRY
The fixture LCD Menu Control Display will indicate the lamp life and related lamp warnings with
each power ON, each lamp strike, and when specific lamp hours are reached. The table below
provides details on each lamp life warning. Due to the extreme heat associated with the lamp
and the nature of the internal optical system, it is IMPERATIVE the lamp is replaced when the
LCD Menu Control Display indicates replacement is needed. This is done to protect the internal
optical system as well as prevent accidental lamp explosion, which could lead to hot glass
particles falling from the fixture.
