Your BenQ projector will give you plenty of warnings when it’s time to replace the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 lamp. You can expect up to 3,000 hours of use from the lamp depending on the frequency of use and whether the machine is maintained properly.
Watch for these warning signs that the BenQ 5J.J2605.001 is approaching end of life:
1. The Lamp Replace Indicator on the projector begins to blink.
2. The picture becomes quite dim or the colors look unnatural.
3. Warning messages about replacing the lamp appear on screen.
Authentic lamps are crucial
It’s important to purchase a BenQ 5J.J1Y01.001 lamp and avoid generic “compatible” lamps. These knock-off lamps have inferior workmanship and are not manufactured with the proper materials to keep your projector working properly.
At first glance generic compatible lamps seem like an incredible bargain. But these so called generic lamps are prone to explosion and have been created using toxic substances such as Krypton-85.
Using a counterfeit generic lamp will also void any warranty for your BenQ W600/BenQ W6500 projector.
Generic lamps many problems
Learn how to spot a counterfeit lamp and their associated problems:
