Lamp life Normal mode: Up to 3000 hours
Eco mode: Up to 5000 hours

NOTE: The lamp life rating for any projector is a measure of brightness degradation only, and is not a specification for the time it takes a lamp to fail and cease light output. Lamp life is defined as the time it takes for more than 50 percent of a lamp sample population to have brightness decrease by approximately 50 percent of the rated lumens for the specified lamp. The lamp life rating is not guaranteed
in any way. The actual operating life span of a projector lamp will vary according to operating conditions and usage patterns. Usage of a projector in stressful conditions which may include dusty environments, under high temperatures, many hours per day, and abrupt powering-off will most likely result in a lamp's shortened operating life span or possible lamp failure.
For additional information on how to use your projector, please see the Dell Projectors User Guide at www.dell.com/support/manuals.
