Have you been enjoying your home theater built by projectors? Various movies and shows can be displayed on big screen as long as you got a projector back in home. That’s why home projectors become increasingly popular.
Electronic products like projectors have high demands on heat dissipation. The core component – lamp, produces a large amount of heat during working. As we all know, high temperatures can cause big harm to electronics, such as shortening the lifespan of projectors.

Therefore, try to clean the whole cooling system as much as possible, creating a smooth air vent for the projector to work its cooling system better.
We know that Opto-Mechatronics like projectors are quite sensitive to temperature, in addition to their complex inside constructure, home projectors are getting smaller and smaller, meanwhile brighter and brighter, all of these factors add to the difficulty of the design of cooling systems. That’s why in the daily use, we need to pay more attention to the ventilation of projectors.
Tip 3: Take a rest
Unlike commercial or engineer projectors, who are capable of working 7*24 hours continually, home projectors are subjected to the time limit on working hours. Normally, home projectors should take a 20 mins rest every 4 hours working.
