When to replace the lamp unit
J
The lamp unit is a consumable component. Brightness decreases according to duration of usage, so
periodical replacement of the lamp unit is necessary. The estimated duration before replacement is 3 000
hours for PT-TW330EA / PT-TX300EA, 4 000 hours for PT-TW240EA. However, this may be shortened
depending on individual lamp characteristics, usage conditions, and the installation environment. Therefore, it
is strongly recommended that a replacement lamp unit be prepared.
When the projection lamp of the projector reaches its end of life, the warning message appears on the screen.
Replace the lamp with a new one promptly.

The used lamp time is calculated internally in the following formula as the used time in each setting of [Normal], [Auto],
[ECO1] and [ECO2] in [Lamp power mode]:
Lamp runtime = (Lamp runtime of [Normal] × 60 + Lamp runtime of [Auto] × 24 + Lamp runtime of [ECO1] or [ECO2] × 45)
÷ 60
In order to estimate the lamp life, please refer to [Lamp Hours Used (Normal)] and [Lamp Hours used (ECO)] in
