FEATURES
Twin-lamp System for Peace of Mind Operation
One lamp can output a total of 7,000 lumens but a second 
lamp is built in to provide automatic backup should the 
primary lamp fail.  The two lamps are alternately used, 
achieving a recommended lamp replacement time of 
approximately 8,000 hours, saving maintenance time and 
cost.
What happens if one lamp suddenly fails during an important presentation?
The VPL-FX500L offers peace of mind operation by using 
a twin-lamp system which adopts a redundant lamp and 
provides economical operation.  It also delivers amazing 
installation flexibility and hassle-free maintenance in a stylish 
design that blends into any decor.  
This projector has a very wide lens shift range, enabling 
excellent flexibility when installing the unit and adjusting 
the image.  Lamp and air filter maintenance cycles are 
synchronized and exceptionally long compared to single-lamp 
system and dual-lamp system by cutting maintenance time 
and cost.  In addition, the VPL-FX500L is designed to deliver a 
low total cost of ownership, and includes eco-friendly features 
such as long-lasting lamps and low power consumption.  
Packing the most advanced projector technologies into a low-profile design, the VPL-FX500L is an excellent 
choice, delivering a dramatic brightness of 7,000 lumens and high-quality images with XGA resolution.
