Projector lamps cost around $300 dollars each and last about 2,000 hours on average. Projectors consume about 300 watts with the lamp operating. The service life of a projector is directly related to its operating hours. Projectors last about 4 years on average before they fail and cost about $1,500 to replace.<\/p>\n
This Summer we will begin deploying\u00a0 the Global Viewer Enterprise (GVE) network management system in most of our electronic classrooms. Software of this type would easily cost $10,000 for an institution our size, but we have received it as a grant.\u00a0<\/p>\n
GVE will enhance our ability to remotely view the status of a projector and diagnose equipment control problems. It also provides greater reporting functions. For example, we will generate reports on the number of hours a particular classroom projector is powered on, its lamp hours, and the number of times a VCR or document camera is selected for use. GVE can also alert us if a lamp is burned out or if there has been an attempt to steal a projector.<\/p>\n
You can do your part.\u00a0 About 120 classrooms have an Extron control panel that has a \u201cdisplay mute<\/strong>\u201d function which leaves the projector lamp operating but mutes the light on the screen.\u00a0 <\/strong>When you are finished using the project be sure to actually DISPLAY POWER OFF and unmute the screen.<\/p>\n Together we will save energy, and extend projector and lamp life cycles.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Article written by Roger Ewald Projector lamps cost around $300 dollars each and last about 2,000 hours on average.
