THE BULB BLOG

If you are someone who uses a projector on a regular basis, then you will know that replacing projector lamps is an expensive exercise. Here are a few things that you can do to get the best out of your projector bulb so that you won’t need to replace it often.

The handling of projector lamps is one of the first things that you need to address. Handle the lamp with great care and make sure you go through the user’s manual and find out the manufacturer’s recommendations for handling and usage. One recommendation that every manufacturer mentions is never to touch the projector bulb with your bare hands.

Another basic no-no is moving the projector while in use. As projector lamps are extremely fragile when they are hot, moving the projector will affect the lamps and can cut short their lifetime. Also, remember to turn off the projector bulb before you turn off the projector itself.

Next is the environment. Make sure that you provide an ideal one for your projector lamps and avoid settings with extreme temperatures, high humidity, as well as places that are dusty and have poor ventilation. Keep the air filter as clean as possible.

Don’t overuse the projector and stretch the continuous usage time, it strains the projector bulb.

Put the ‘Low Lamp’ and ‘Economy Mode’ features to full use as they will help you extract maximum leverage out of your projector. These modes need minimal brightness for working and help extend the lifetime of your projector.

Even if your projector lamp does run out, you can choose from a comprehensive collection of specialty lamps, including OSRAM lamp, one of the leading replacement projector lamps.
