  • Projector Lamp Life

    Hey Guys,

    I have a View Sonic PS501x projector. My projectors lamp (original lamp) wont come on. I assume it just needs to be replaced, which isn't a problem. But I feel like it burnt out rather quickly. I just did some research and came up with approximately 40 hours of usage. I have had the projector since September of last year. I hope that is not typical for this projector. I do not want to spend $150 every 6 months for a lamp. I would rather upgrade my projector to a better one that gets more lamp hours. Has anyone else experienced this with their projector?

    The projector's power light comes on and stays a steady blue for about 2 - 3 minutes and then a red lamp light, steady, comes on for about 30 seconds, then goes off and the blue power light then flashes twice and shuts down automatically. I plan to contact the manufacture on Monday but curious as to what others think.

    Something seems wrong at 40 hours of use. I don’t have this projector and so I cannot help with specifics. However, for most lamps I would expect at least 2000 hours with high lamp mode and about 4000 at normal (eco can be higher). For me these would be Minimums based on all that I have read.

      Dax ...I just checked and this lamp should get 5,000 hours of use at normal setting. Something is definitely wrong. I even unplugged the lamp and plugged it back in just in case it was loose. Same issues and light indicators.

    Resolution: The bulb has a one year warranty on it. View Sonic is mailing me a new one.
