Like any other bulb a projector lamp also has an expected life expectancy which is usually anywhere from 1000 to 2000 hours. Some of the newest models claim they get 4000 hours to a lamp. The predicted life expectancy of a lamp is based on what's called a bell curve which takes the average. This means some lamps will last longer while others will fail sooner. A projector that is used in a dust free, dry environment for no more than 5 hours a day is likely to see the bulb last the entire rated expectancy.
