Replacing the Lamp 
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 2000 hours of use 
(in high brightness mode) or 3000 hours (in low brightness 
mode). It is time to replace the lamp when: 
❏ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
❏ The   warning light is flashing orange. 
❏ The message 
Replace the Lamp appears on the screen when 
the lamp comes on. To maintain brightness and image 
quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
Note:
You can check how many hours the lamp has been used in the Info 
menu.
Note:
Turn the projector off when not in use. Coninuous use may reduce 
the overall life of the product.
Contact your dealer or call Epson at (800) 873-7766 in the 
United States for a replacement lamp. Request part number

the shards carefully to avoid injury.
