Replacing the lamp
The life of light-source lamps used for this unit is about 2000 hours.
• The lamp life of 2000 hours is merely the average life span of light-source lamps and
we do not provide any guarantee for this figure. The lamp life may not reach 2000
hours depending on the operating conditions. Deterioration progresses rapidly when
the remaining lamp usage time is short. Get ready or replace with a new lamp unit
when the accumulated usage time exceeds 1900 hours. Depending on the operating
conditions, the lamp may have to be exchanged earlier. If the image is dark or colour
tone abnormal, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
• You can also check the accumulated hours of usage. Please refer to Lamp Time in the
INFORMATION menu.
• Setting Power Save in the OPTIONS menu to On does not affect the usage time of
the light-source lamp.
Please consult your authorised dealer when purchasing a new lamp unit.
Replacement Lamp (Lamp Unit) Part No.: BHL5008-S
IMPORTANT: The lamp unit resembles that used in other projectors of this
type. However the lamps are quite different and the lamp housings are not
interchangeable. Install only the correct lamp assembly for this projector:
attempting to force a different lamp unit to fit may permanently damage the
projector or cause a serious malfunction. It will also void your warranty.
When the lamp usage time exceeds 1900 hours (but is under
2000 hours)
The LAMP indicator lights up and the TEMP indicator starts blinking upon turning on the
power (standby mode).
A Lamp replacement message will be displayed on the screen when projection starts.
• The message can be cleared by pressing any button on the remote control or this unit.
When the lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours (but is under
2010 hours):
The LAMP indicator lights up and the FAN indicator starts blinking upon turning on the
power (standby mode).
When the lamp usage time exceeds 2000 hours during projection, a Lamp replacement
message will be displayed on the screen when projection starts and the 'Warning' mark will
appear blinking.
• Press EXIT to clear the display. However, the same Warning and Lamp
replacement messages will be displayed after 1 hour.
• When the unit is switched to the standby mode or turned off after the lamp usage time
exceeds 2000 hours, it cannot be switched back to the projection mode again.
In this case, replace with a new lamp unit and reset the lamp time.
When the lamp usage time reaches 2010 hours
The unit exits from the projection mode (operating mode) and switches into cool down
mode.
• The LAMP indicator will light up and the TEMP and FAN indicators will appear blinking.
• The projection mode (operating mode) cannot be restored until a new lamp unit is
installed and the lamp time reset.
About lamp replacement
• If this unit is installed in a constricted place, attempting to replace the lamp in situ may
be difficult or even cause injury. Move this unit to a place large enough to perform the
operation.
• Use only genuine replacement parts for the lamp unit. Otherwise, malfunction may
occur.
