Turning off vs Leaving On Projector

The Dark Side · 2015-06-15 13:19:44

I'm just wondering what the general consensus is on turning off your projector. For example, if you've finished watching something, but plan on watching something else in a couple of hours time, is it better for the bulb to power off and power back on again, or leave it on for the couple of hours in a low-power mode?

It'll depend on the projector. Some start off quite bright and others build up the brightness slowly (dark image as splash screen, kind of a dim yellowish hue from whatever source for a minute or two) - the slower the build up the less of a toll it's taking on the lamp.
If it'll have a couple of hours to rest, turn it off.
