HOW LONG CAN I MAINTAIN BRIGHTNESS?

4.5, or 6.0 kW) by approximately 10%. The lower your LiteLOC
it will take to reach this "over-drive" threshold and the longer you can maintain the
desired brightness.
For example, a 6000-
watt lamp (6.0 kW) can
be safely driven at no
more than 6600 watts.
To produce 14 fL at the
screen, a new lamp
would likely need less
than this maximum
rating—perhaps 5120
watts (example only).
Over time, however, the
lamp will require more and more current in order to produce the 14 fL, until
eventually the lamp wattage reaches its 6600 "overdrive" maximum, and the power
to it automatically levels off. At this point, the LiteLOC

Using "Lamp Power"
To change to a different power level, simply enter a new Lamp Power percentage at
any time. This will override (and temporarily disable) any LiteLOC

Set "Lamp Power" to apply a specific percentage of power appropriate for the
