The rated lamp life is about 1000 hours. The rated lamp life is the average life of the lamps produced and tested (under the
test conditions of our company). However, it may become shorter depending on the conditions of usage.
After the lamp has been operating for 1000 hours or longer, the STATUS indicator on the control panel will light and the “LAMP
USAGE” icon which shows hours of total lamp usage will be displayed on the screen. When this happens, turn off the unit and
replace the lamp cage with a new one. The unit will not turn on after 1100 hours. (It will go off if it is in use.)
