• Inverted or non-inverted projectors: typically inverted projectors have shorter lamp life times than their non-inverted equivalents.
• Do not move or vibrate the lamp when it is hot: simply put hot lamps are fragile. Due to this the appliance of shock or vibration to hot lamps may case the filament to break. In order to avoid this you should wait for the lamp to completely cool down before moving it.
