How Long do DLP Lamps Last?

posted by jangro on (1 year, 11 months ago)

A reader asks, "How long does a DLP lamp last?"

Under normal conditions, standard DLP lamps should last 7000-8000 hours. Your own lamp and television watching habits will vary, but if you watch TV...

  • 2 hours a day, your lamp could last for more than 10 years
  • 5 hours a day... 4 years
  • 10 hours a day... 2 years

8000 hours. That's a lot of Law and Order!

There are some things that could decrease the expected life of a lamp, such as widely varying room temperatures, poor ventilation around the television set, electrical spikes, as well as other factors.

Be sure to see this post on how to make your DLP lamps last longer.

DLP lamps are expensive, but considering how much viewing you get they don't really seem to cost that much. A $300 lamp that lives a full life will cost merely $0.03 to $0.04 per hour!

And since there's nothing worse than losing your lamp in the middle of the big game, you should consider getting yourself a back up lamp if your current lamp is getting up there in hours.

    See the development of the creation of television that is currently growing rapidly and very sophisticated I think the DLP lamp owned tv today will last longer than usual, although I have never entered into the trial, but I'm sure of it. I can say this because I feel it myself for what happened to my tv that has been outstanding for more than four years. I remember every day I watch nearly 10 hours over four years, but what happens with DLP lamp in my tv? no changes at all, but maybe this only happens in some cases only. For those of you also are often watching television, and of course you would feel if too long a headache watching it, then I have the best product for megatasinya, please you visit this site

    I always thought that they would have a longer life span. I must say that I am a little disappointed.
