Cleaning the dust filters S-video 1 R In dirty or dusty environments, the dust filters can become clogged, causing high temperatures inside the lamp module. These high temperatures can impact lamp performance and operating life. Routine maintenance to remove dust and dirt from the filters lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you will need to clean the filters every 100 hours.
