In Reply to: I owned the same FP model as yours…. posted by kootenay on June 2, 2009 at 20:41:43:
The first failed at less than a 1000 hours (no guarantees), the 2nd started to dim at about 1900 hrs so I went ahead and replaced it; It may still have some "life" as an emergency replacement. I'm at 1700 hours on the third bulb so another decision point is coming soon (new bulb or new FP?).
I think the Sharp automatically cuts out at 2000 hrs; you still have to reset the timer if your bulb hits the 2000 hr mark.
I'm milking the life out of the FP, it's just getting harder to hold off getting a new one. This FP looks so dim (even with light control) in comparison after watching sessions with the Kuro.
