Getting to know the lamp hour
When the projector is in operation, the duration (in hours) of lamp usage is automatically calculated by the
Total (equivalent) lamp hour= 20/9 * (hours used in Normal mode) + 5/3 * (hours used in Eco mode) + 20/13 * (hours used in SmartEco)+1 * (hours used in LampSave)
See "Setting Lamp mode eco function as Economic or SmartEco mode" below for more information on Economic mode.
