The high brightness of your projector is provided by a Xenon lamp mounted at the
ends within a reflector, housed in the locked lamp compartment of the projection
head. When the lamp approaches the end of its life, it must be replaced—do not
exceed warranted lamp life by more than 20%, as an old lamp becomes increasingly
and dangerously fragile, resulting in possible explosion.
To determine the age of your current lamp, consult the Status menu in the Touch
Panel Controller. Lamp hours appear under "Environment: Lamp". Lamp hours are
also displayed in the password-protected Advanced Lamp menu and the Advanced
Lamp History menu.
It is recommended that you replace the air filter with every lamp replacement, or
sooner in dusty or dirty environments. Check its condition monthly in all projectors.
NOTE: For this procedure you will need a compatible Christie Xenon CDXL or CXL
lamp as shown in Section 8, Specifications—never install a lamp intended for a
different model or projector.
Make sure to use the correct wattage lamp supplied by Christie.

clothing whenever the lamp door is open! Never apply a
twisting or bending force to the quartz lamp body.
