Replacing the Lamp
The life span of the lamp is about 3000 hours if the color mode is consistently set to 
Theatre 
Black
, and 2000 hours if any other color mode is used. For instructions on changing the color 
mode, see page 21. You can check how long the lamp has been used, as described on page 34. 
If the number shown is close to the limit, make sure you have a spare lamp handy.
Note: Lamp life results vary depending on environmental conditions and usage. Turn the projector 
off when not in use. Continuous 24-hour-a-day use may reduce the overall life of the entire product.
It’s time to replace the lamp when:
The projected image gets darker or starts to deteriorate.
The lamp status light flashes orange.
The message 
Replace the lamp
 appears on the screen 
when you start projecting.
Caution: If you continue to use the lamp after you see the 
replacement indicators, the lamp is more likely to break.
You can purchase a new lamp (part # V13H010L33) from an authorized Epson reseller. To 
find the nearest reseller, call 800-GO-EPSON (800-463-7766). 
In the U.S., you can also purchase online at www.epsonstore.com. In Canada, you can also 
purchase at www.epson.ca or (800) 807-7766.
Follow these steps to replace the lamp:
1. Turn off the main power switch and disconnect the power cord.
2. If the projector has been on, let it cool for at least an hour.
Warning: Let the lamp cool before replacing it. If the lamp breaks, handle the shards carefully 
to avoid injury.
