All projectors are powered by a bulb or lamp that, like any light source, will eventually wear out and need to be replaced. Most bulbs or lamps will last for about 2,000 hours, though some projectors can be expected to last considerably longer. You can always extend the lifespan of your office's projector by taking care of it with regular maintenance.

Lamps or Bulbs

Different projector manufacturers use different names for the light-producing components in their projectors. Some projectors use special light bulbs to create light, while others use LCD or LED lamps. Whatever the name, these are the components that most often need replacing on a projector, as over time they’ll wear down and stop working. Manufacturers vary their projections for how long the bulb or lamp will last.

Average Life Spans

Each manufacturer claims a different life expectancy for their projector bulb or lamp, but almost all publish this information -- either on the box of the projector, on the bulb or lamp packaging, or in the support documentation on their website. Projector Central, an online trade magazine for projection equipment, suggests that most projector bulbs have a life of about 2,000 hours. Epson claims its PowerLite projector’s lamp lasts 5,000 hours and Delta makes an LED-based projector with a projected life span of about 20,000 hours.

Before You Buy

Epson Projector Bulb Lifespan

Consider that the lamp or bulb is often the most expensive part of a projector, and that unless you buy a projector with an extremely long (20,000-plus hour) lifespan you’ll probably have to replace the bulb or lamp at some point. Do some research before buying to see which projector’s bulbs fit within your company’s budget. If you use the projector for two two-hour meetings a week, for example, you may not have to replace the bulb for 10 years.

Improving Projector Lifespan

According to both Projector Central and BambooAV, an audio-visual solutions company, how you use, store and transport your projector affects its life span. Keeping the projector in a relatively dust-free space helps its bulb or lamp last longer. Bumping the projector during transporting can damage the bulb and cause it to burn out more quickly. Cleaning your projector’s filter every three or four months will keep the projector running at the proper temperature.

Pixelation problems? What does that mean? These are DLP projectors, and as such the only pixel issue they should ever exhibit are dead or stuck pixels - but I wouldn't call that 'pixelation'. It sounds to me like people probably aren't running it in the native resolution, which is 1200 x 800.

If you are sending a data signal to projector in anything other than its native resolution, you're going to get an ugly and pixelated image.

Check that first.

As for the lifecycle issue, I suggest you use the menus to audit the amount of hours these units have been used. The optical engine of a DLP projector should last 10,000 hours at least, but an LCD optical engine will likely only last 10,000 hours (tops). Replacement lamp cost and availability is often a determining factor in projector swap-outs, with the other deciding factors being reliability and new features. This makes planning difficult. I suggest a six year max cycle. After that, lamp availability is going to start becoming an issue and power supplies will likely start to fail.

Don't buy anything with less an XGA resolution if you're stuck on 4:3 aspect ratios, and if widescreen is desired, 1920 x 1080. Stick with DLP if possible, and don't buy anything with less than 3,000 ANSI lumens.
