DLP RPTV bulb

by Kirk_TVA Feb 4, 2005 1:14AM PST

Most current RPTV lamps are now rated for 6000 - 8000 hours of use but this will vary by manufacturer. It is also possible to get far fewer hours out of the lamp which is why you'll see that the lamp is only covered for 1 year or less by the manufacturer.
