The life expectancy of your Sanyo POA-LMP131 (service parts no 610 343 2069) lamp depends on the amount of usage and whether the air filters are cleaned on a regular basis. A build up of dust on the filters will reduce the cooling fans effectiveness and may cause the lamp to overheat.

The Sanyo POA-LMP131 (service parts no 610 343 2069) lamp life runs anywhere from 1,000 to 3,000 hours. It’s always a good idea to keep a spare lamp on hand so when it’s time to replace your lamp you won’t have to wait and possibly not be able to use the projector when needed.

The best type of lamp to buy is one that has been guaranteed authentic and created by approved manufacturers who use the correct parts for the lamp. Knock-off lamps use counterfeit parts that can explode inside the projector or not fit properly thereby damaging the sensitive mechanism in the projector. The initial low cost of these counterfeit lamps may end up costing you more money in the long run if your projector is ruined. Using a counterfeit lamp will void your warranty.

You can also just replace the POA-LMP131 bulb for additional savings. Learn more in our POA-LMP131 video guide.
