Increasingly, consumers who want to try to see movies in your home choose a home theater projector. These devices allow users to view your entertainment in a darkened room with no size restrictions of a television screen. However, as most owners attest, there is a little maintenance expense significantly associated with this type of farming, the expense of the lamp.
Lamp Life in a projector is said to be between 2,500 and 4,000 hours but in some cases, consumers have reported a lifetime as short as a few hundred hours. With the replacement lamp price of several hundred dollars, the short lifetime of a lamp can be an unpleasant surprise. Buyers should take heart, however, as there are many things can do to help ensure your new lamp burns brightly for as long as possible.
 • Keep the projector stopped when possible. The filament inside the bulb is fragile and is especially vulnerable to damage when it is hot, thus avoiding any jerks, especially when the unit is hot, is important.
 • Keep your hands off the lamp. Bare hands can leave oils on the surface. The oils can be burned the surface of the lamp, which can cause cracks. Use a tissue or soft cloth to remove / replace the lamp is wise.
 • Turn off the light properly.
Turn it to light about 5 minutes before turning off the projector. This allows the fan to cool the unit.
Because the turning on and off can force the filament, due to the surge voltage is advisable to avoid turning it on and off unnecessarily when taking a break in the display. The use of "soft start" function can be beneficial if the projector has.
On the other hand, an auto standby may be useful to ensure that the light is not inadvertently left burning during the preview is done.
 • Keep it clean and legal. Projectors should be housed to ensure that they are not near a heat source and have adequate ventilation. There should be nothing blocking your air intake or ventilation. The filter should be cleaned every 3-6 months and changed by the manufacturer's instructions to ensure a good flow and keep the dust off the lamp.
As with any light source, the light within a projector will eventually fail and require replacement. However, the proper use and maintenance can help ensure that the projector lamp will realize its full life expectancy, rather than putting any unnecessary burden on the budget of the owner.
