Lamp life

At 1800 hours of lamp life, the Panasonic PT-AE1000 LAMP indicator lights red with an onscreen message REPLACE LAMP for 30 seconds.  At 2000 hours, the message will appear and stay on screen until the projector lamp has been replaced. If the lamp usage time has passed 2000 hours, the projector will shut down. These hours are only an approximation. If you see a decrease in the brightness or quality of the on screen picture, your lamp may need replacing even if it hasn’t reached the 1800 hours.

The importance of authentic lamps

It’s easy to get duped into buying an inferior knock-off lamp posing as an authentic lamp. In order to keep your Panasonic PT-AE1000 working at its best, you should always install an authentic projector lamp. OEM projector lamps are calibrated to work in harmony with your projector. See below for reasons for avoiding counterfeit lamps.
