The life of the projector is generally 5-10 years. Most of the projectors are at the end of their life due to the aging of the internal circuit board. The most prone to issues of the projector are the lens and the light bulb. The projector that uses the light bulb as the light source should get its bulb be replaced every 2-3 years, and the life of the bulb will be relatively short.
The life of the projector is usually 5 to 10 years. The light source of the projector is generally divided into three types. The life of the projector using the bulb light source is 5,000 hours; the life of the projector using the LED light source is 15,000 hours; the projector using the laser light source , the lifespan can reach 20,000 hours. Such Dangbei Mars Pro, offers incredible more than 20,000 hours life span with the latest ALPD laser technology. The end of the projector’s life is mostly caused by the aging of the internal circuit board, as well as the burning of the DMD chip pixels or the aging and deformation of the resin lens in the optical path; in addition, the projector using the bulb light source needs to replace the bulb within 2-3 years. However, this operation does not directly affect the life of the projector.
The methods of extending the life of the projector can include: 1. Shut down the projector when it is not in use for a long time, and the long-term standby state will shorten the life of the bulb. 2. Clean the projector regularly. 3. Do not power off suddenly when the projector is in use. 4. Energizer removes items that block the projector’s cooling vents to ensure ventilation and heat dissipation.
