appears, replace the lamp with a new one as soon as possible, even if it

 

is still working.

used, the lamp may become darker or stop working before the lamp

in case it is needed.

• Lamp life results vary depending on mode selected, environmental

 

conditions, and usage. Lamp brightness decreases over time. Turn off
