How to change a Projector Lamp

1. When the projector lamp approaches the end of it’s life you will receive a warning on screen similar to:

At this stage the lamp should 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, which can cause damage to your projector.

2. To determine the age of your current lamp, consult the lamp hours this is usually in the menu option, consult your manual to see how to get to this option if you are not sure.

3. If a lamp needs to be replaced please use our projector lamp search facility to find the correct lamp for your projector. Never install a lamp intended for a different model or projector.

4. The high pressure of the lamp increases with changes in temperature. Failure to allow the lamp too sufficiently cool prior to handling has the potential to explode, causing injury so please ensure that your projector has cooled for at least 30 minutes.

5. Remove the power lead from the projector and locate the lamp cover. On most projectors this is normally on the bottom of the projector and will have 3 or 4 screws to remove the plate.

6. Remove the screws holding the lamp in place, some models may only have a clip and remove the lamp module from the projector.

7. To ensure environmental safety please dispose of the lamp responsibly if you do not have access to a recycling service please use the following link to http://www.plrd.org/return.asp have your lamp recycled.

8. Once you have received your new lamp, reverse the process in order to fit your lamp.

9. Once the lamp has been installed restore power to the projector, and check the lamp. You will also need to reset the lamp hours to 0 via the projector menu options.
