3.10.4 If the Lamp Will Not Turn On 
If the lamp fails to ignite, the projector will automatically re-try ignition using 100% of the maximum power 
acceptable for the lamp. If this re-try also fails, and there is no error code indicating a specific problem such as 
an open lamp door or an over-temperature condition, the lamp size may be incorrectly defined. For instance, 
the defined Lamp Size may be 2 kW when a 6 kW lamp...

lamp. Refer to Section 6 Specifications
. Keep in mind that the maximum brightness for any lamp 
gradually diminishes with age and images become dimmer over time. Its current brightness output level

How Long Can I Maintain Brightness? 
Software can maintain your Intensity setting until the required power exceeds the maximum rating for the 
lamp (2.0, 3.0, 4.5, or 6.0 kW) by approximately 10%. The lower the setting, the longer it takes to reach this 
threshold, and the longer you can maintain the desired brightness. Keep in mind that once the lamp power 
reaches its maximum wattage (see Power, above), this tracking is...
