My last Runco VX-101-cx bulb lasted just 404 hours (out of expected ~1500 hours) The tech told me that a power surge could have zapped it or that perhaps I wasn't making sure it was completely cooled down before starting the projector back up. Given that the unit retailed for $15,000 several years back and has already had the power supply rebuilt twice, I'm also disappointed, to say the least. I only watch about 100 movies/yr. on it MAX.
How many hours did your projector lamp last?
Just ordered a replacement lamp for my Sony Pearl projector...although it only has about 800 hours on it, it's just too dim to enjoy a movie. I had hoped the lamp would last at least 1000 hours, so I'm a bit disappointed.
What luck have you had?
