Question 3

How to properly turn off the EPSON EMP-TW10 projector to preserve the lamp?

Accepted Answer

To properly turn off your EPSON EMP-TW10 projector and preserve the lifespan of its lamp (4000 hours in normal mode), here is the recommended procedure:

Press the power button located on the projector or the remote control. A confirmation window will appear on the screen.
Confirm the shutdown by pressing the power button again. The lamp will automatically turn off and the projection will stop.
Important: do not touch the Power button during cooling. The cooling lasts about 20 seconds. It is not possible to operate the Power button during this phase.
Wait about 5 minutes after the projection has stopped. The fan continues to run to cool the lamp. Never unplug the projector during this cooling period.
Wait for the Power indicator to light up orange, indicating that the projector has entered standby mode. After this step, you can unplug the device if necessary.

Strictly following this shutdown procedure helps prevent overheating of the lamp and extends its lifespan. If you need to replace the lamp after a shutdown, wait at least one hour for the lamp to cool down sufficiently, as it can reach extremely high temperatures.

You can also schedule a delayed shutdown (5, 10, or 30 minutes): the projector will automatically stop the projection and enter standby mode after cooling if no operation is performed during the selected duration.
