The glass may shatter and cause injury. lamp housing Be extremely careful when removing the lamp housing.
Cleaning the Lamp Housing Screens In dirty or dusty environments, the two dust filter screens in the lamp housing can become clogged, causing high temperatures and premature lamp failure. Routine maintenance to remove dust from the screens lowers the lamp operating temperature and prolongs lamp life. To maximize lamp life you should clean the screen at least every 250 hours depending upon environmental conditions. The dirtier or dustier the environment, the more often you should clean the screens.
