Replacing the Lamp
The life span of the projection lamp is about 4,000 hours if Power
Consumption in the Settings menu is Normal (default), and 5,000
hours if this setting is ECO. See page 88 to check the lamp usage.
It is time to replace the lamp when:
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
The message Replace the lamp appears on the screen and the
Lamp light flashes orange. To maintain projector brightness
and image quality, replace the lamp as soon as possible.
note
Turn off this product when
not in use to prolong the life
of the projector.
You may also need to replace the lamp if the Lamp light flashes
red. See page 93.
Contact your dealer or call Epson at 800-GO-EPSON
(800-463-7766). Request part number V13H010L58.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Let the projector cool for at least an hour (if it has been on). The
lamp is extremely hot immediately after use.
3. Loosen the lamp cover screw (you cannot remove it). Then slide
the lamp cover off.

warning
Let the lamp cool fully
before replacing it.
In the unlikely event that
the lamp has broken, small
glass fragments may be
present and should be
removed carefully to avoid
injury. If the projector has
been installed on the ceiling,
you should stand to the side
of the lamp cover, not
underneath it.
If the lamp is used after the
replacement period has
passed, the possibility that
the lamp may break
increases. When a lamp
replacement message
appears, replace the lamp
with a new one as soon as
possible, even if it is still
working.
