I just recieved an Hitachi CP-s230 LCD projector to use in my classroom.
I use it all day but there are periods during the day when it is idle.
My question is: Does restarting the lamp put wear on the over all life of the lamp. Someone told me "striking" or firing up the lamp was the equivilant of X hours of projection.
Is that true? Would it be better for me to leave the projector projecting through my lunch break for example?
Thanks.
Most projectors just have a lamp lifetime AFAIK, so leaving it on would be very unwise.
The manual should give some advice I'd have thought !

Thanks, the manual, printed and electronic, that came with the projector are shocking in their omissions. They show what each hole in the projector is for - in 14 different langugages - and that is it.
Anyway thanks again.
