Epson PowerLite 1222_projectorWhen to replace the  Epson PowerLite 1222 air filter?

The Epson PowerLite 1222 air filter is an important part of helping to keep your projector working properly. It keeps out the dust and dirt from getting inside  but also helps the air circulate so your projector doesn’t overheat. Clean air filters can help your projector lamp last longer.

Cleaning the Air Filter and Vents

Epson_PowerLite_ 1222_clean_air filterCleaning the air filters should be a regular part of your projector maintenance  but it you forget you will see an onscreen message telling you to clean them. Follow these steps:
1. Turn off the projector and unplug the power cord.
2. Gently remove the dust from the Epson PowerLite 1222 air filterusing a small vacuum designed for computers or a very soft brush (such as a paintbrush). DON’T use canned air since this leaves a flammable residue in the projector. The canned air can also push dust into the projector’s sensitive optics and damage them.
3. If the filters are very blocked with dust you can remove them to clean both side. DON’T use any water, detergent or cleaning solutions on the filter.
4. If there is too much dust or if the Epson PowerLite 1222 air filter is damaged, you will need to replace it. After cleaning the air filter, you may also see a message telling you to clean or replace it

Solve your projector heat problems

Stop your projector from overheating. Projector heat problems are common to every type of projector. Almost all projectors face problems with overheating. Whether yours is using an LCD or a DLP projector lamp, there is a tremendous amount of heat created—close to 200 to 300 degrees Th.e brighter and clearer the projection, the higher the heat. These tips will help your projector stay cool.

projector heat problems

Air flow

Uninterrupted airflow outside the projector is the most important thing to consider when installing your projector. There has to be enough space around the projector so air can circulate freely. Don’t place it atop any soft surfaces and make sure there is nothing blocking the sides.

Clean air is also important. If you are running your projector is an extremely dusty or smoky room, it is going to heat up much quicker. Cigarette smoke will definitely make the projector heat up quicker. If the room is extremely smoky, then you will need to check the air filters more frequently.

projector heat problems -- ceiling mountsProper placement

Placement is really important to keep the fans and air vents working. Keeping the area around the projector free from clutter will help the projector to stay cool and prevent any unplanned shutdowns due to heat buildup.

When using the projector on a table or desk make sure that there nothing blocking the vents. Never cover the projector when it’s operating as this can cause it to overheat as well. The heat from the projector has nowhere to go since it’s being created inside.  If you are mounting the projector leave enough space between the ceiling and projector to have air flow.

air filtersBasic Cleaning

Most projectors rely on built in fans to remove heat from the projector. These fans circulate cool air around inside the projector. These fans also draw in air to cool down the projector.  To prevent dust from getting inside the projectors and to purify the air there are also air filters in front of the circulating vents. Over time these air filters become dirty. If they become too blocked then air can’t circulate, and the projector starts to overheat. You should always check your air filters on a regular basis. Depending on your model, you may need to replace the entire air filer rather than clean it. Also check the fan and if it needs to be cleaned. This is usually done with compressed air to blow the dust away from the fan.

match-Room Temperature

A climate-controlled room is the best environment for your projector. An air-conditioned room will keep the projector from overheating. Adjusting the temperature can help the projector stay cool.

Use the off switch

Your projector needs time to cool down. It’s recommended that after a presentation you turn off after letting it cool. This will also make the projector lamp last longer.  Sometimes connecting cables don’t provide the proper connections and this can cause heat problems as well. If you find your cables are heating up, then replace them with higher quality ones.

It’s a confusing world out there when shopping online for projector lamps. We break it down for you.

If you know what to look for then shopping for projector lamps on Amazon or ebay can land you some real deals.

Original OEM

If your projector is a newer model, then consider ordering the original OEM packaged lamp from the projector manufacturer or their authorized reseller. While this is the most expensive option as you’re paying a premium price for the brand package, plastic cage, bulb and assembling, you are guaranteed a lamp with brightness, clarity and longer lamp life. If your model is much older, you may not be getting the original branded lamp as it’s probably not in production. Look for generic lamps for your older projectors.

Third-party with original lamps

A more affordable option is to buy a replacement lamp that has an original bulb but with a third-party lamp housing. This type of lamp comes in a brown box but has the Philips, Osram, Ushio, Phoenix original bare bulb inside. This is the best value as you get a high quality branded bare bulb without paying premium prices for a branded packaging and cage.

Generic

This is the most economical choice and is mostly what you find on Amazon and other marketplaces. Generic have no OEM parts since the replacement lamp uses a generic bare bulb in a third-party housing. Picture quality, brightness and longevity won’t be the same as the OEM branded bare bulb because these non OEM manufacturers cannot use the patented technology of Philips and other manufacturers. They save you money and for many of the older projectors this is the only available option.

Avoid counterfeits

What you want to avoid are counterfeit lamps sold at an inflated price with a fake brand logo of Philips or Osram on the generic bare bulb. Sometimes even the brand packaging is counterfeited to create an authentic impression. These lamps offer NO value since they usually don’t last longer than a few hours. Sometimes they won’t fit the projector. Worse case scenario is that they explode and end up damaging the optical elements in your projector.

There are some telltale signs to watch for:

  • Often the description, even of expensive lamps, doesn’t say which bare bulb is inside: Philips, Osram, Ushio or a cheap generic Chinese bulb.
  • There may be some sort of a brand log that doesn’t link to the reseller. It’s only there to give you the impression the lamp has original parts.
  • Check that the reseller who is advertising an Osram/Philips/Ushio bare bulb inside also delivers you the original version and doesn’t substitute.
