How many hours did your projector lamp last?

On my old sony vpl vw10ht, it'd get about 1000 hours before it got a little dim and the colors started loosing their "pop"

One bulb I ran to 2200 hours...but the replacement bulb really highlighted the differences.

I've since donated that projector to church and moved onto a Pioneer Elite Pro FPJ1...only 2-300 hours on it so far...

Just be sure to purchase a lamp with an original bulb inside.  Pureland Supply sells only original lamps.  The VPL-VW10HT lamp should come with an Ushio bulb inside

The picture on our old Sony Pearl started to get dim after about 1000 hours, but our new Sony has nearly 2000 hours and the picture still looks great.  IIRC, Sony claims a bulb life for our new projector of 3-4 K hours.
