LCD and DLP Projector Bulbs Tips


Welcome to Projector Tips

Believe it or not, the cost of projector bulbs has dropped substantially over the years. But paying $200 to $300 for a projector bulb is still a lot of money to spend on a device every two to three years. So, here are some simple tips that will extend the life of your projector bulb.
1. Clean your filters on a regular basis. Plugged of block filters can reduce air-flow...this can cause a build up of heat...high heat is the enemy of your projector bulb.
2. Set the bulb to economy mode. This mode is usually dimmer which can on vereage extend the life of the bulb by 1 year.
3. If mobile, allow your projector sufficient time to cool down. Remember that when running, the bulb can produce high heat...this heat needs time to dissipate so the filament and the rest of the electronic can stabilize. Moving a projector when the filament is hot can cause it to break.
4. Make sure you purchase you bulb from a lucrative company that sell certified bulbs. Beware of refurbished bulbs. A bulb is a big investment.
