Philips 6000 hr lamp
I have a Philips projector in for repair. The lamp cuts out after about 5
mins. I've troubleshot it to the lamp supply or lamp. There's no doubt about it. There's about 1800 hrs on the projector and lamp. This lamp is supposed to have a 6000 hr life. Does anybody know how reliable this claim is? Most lamps I see have 1000 - 1500 hr life, not 6000. Also, I don't see anything special about the lamp or supply. TIA, Chris -- Remove "NS" from the e-mail address to respond. |

TIA, Chris Yes, there are lamps with 6000 hr life, but if they are badly treated (switched on and off quickly, not shut down properly) the life can be reduced. However the normal symptom is that they don't strike or take a long time to strike. Turning off after a time is normally a heat problem, are all the fans running properly? -- Tim Mitchell |

Philips 6000 hr lamp
We're seeing lots of bad lamps after as little as a couple months' ordinary
use. Mark Z. -- Please reply only to Group. I regret this is necessary. Viruses and spam have rendered my regular e-mail address useless. "Chris" wrote in message 54.201...
