Most video and data projectors will give you from 2000 hours to 6000 hours. Micro portable and higher lumen projectors start at 1000 hours and normally will not exceed 2000 hours. This is the quoted number of operating hours the manufacturer recommends for the lamp. We do not recommend resetting your projectors counter or removing and reconnecting the lamp to get extra hours.
The lamp life is a major consideration as this is your only running cost. If your want to keep costs down and intend watching a movie a night a lower lumen projector with longer lamp life may be the best option.

These are the original lamp, OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturer). The same as your projector came with, original manufacturers bulb and original manufacturers housing. Replacing with this should not affect your warranty
OBH (Original Bulb in Housing). These have a generic housing (made by a different company to the projector manufacturer). Replacing with Origen projector lamps should not affect your warranty. They are an original lamp, so they offer the same performance as the and normally have extended warranty at a discounted price.
Sometimes called Copy lamps, these are completely generic, with a generic bulb and a generic housing. Replacing with a generic may affect your warranty. This is the cheapest lamp option. We recomend the Origen, if the original is not available
Never to knock or bump your projector after use. If you need to move the projector leave it until the fan has stopped running and the lamp has cooled down, when hot the filament is very fragile.
If we take the average price of a 3000 hour lamp at around $350 this would give you a cost per Hour of 12c. Cheap by any ones standards. For a 6000 hour lamp your looking at 6c and if you were to watch 3 movies a week you will get 19 years service from the bulb! Even the 3000 hour lamp would last you nearly 9.6 years.
