50 Maintaining and Transporting the Projector
Replacing the Lamp
The projection lamp typically lasts for about 1500 hours of use. It is
time to replace the lamp when:
■ The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
■ The Error light on top of the projector is flashing red in
1-second intervals.
■ The LAMP REPLACE message appears on the screen when the
projector lamp comes on (after about 1400 hours of use). To
maintain projector brightness and image quality, replace the lamp
as soon as possible after you see the message.
To order a replacement lamp (part number V13H010L16 ), contact
your dealer or call EPSON at (800) 873-7766 or visit the EPSON
Store at www.epsonstore.com (U. S. sales only). In Canada, please call
(800) 463-7766 for dealer referral.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Turn off the projector, let it cool down, and unplug the power
cord.
2. Allow the projector to continue cooling for at least one hour (if it
has been on).
3. Turn the projector upside-down to access the lamp compartment.
4. To remove the lamp cover, press on the two tabs and pull out the
