Step 1: Know when to replace

The Optoma EP756 projector will detect the lamp life itself. It will show you a warning message “Lamp is running out of standard lifetime. Be sure to replace the lamp as soon as possible.” When you see this message, change the Optoma EP756 projector lamp.

Step 2: Buy the correct lamp

Your Optoma EP756 uses the Optoma BL-FU200A lamp. There are lots of choices out there for buying your lamp but to keep your Optoma EP756 projector working properly, you’ll want to invest in an authentic lamp. Since selling online has few regulations, it’s easy to get duped into buying an inferior knock-off lamp posing as an authentic one.

Watch for these telltale signs you are about to purchase a counterfeit lamp:

• low price that seems too good to be true. Generic lamps have a much shorter life
• labelling that looks amateurish
• Mismatched elements, glue on the edges. Often these lamps use toxic chemicals as substitutes
• Bulb that is scratched inside its cage. Generic lamps are more prone to overheat and explode

Remember that generic lamps are NOT properly calibrated to work with the sensitive electronics in projectors and installing can void the guarantee on our Optoma EP756.

Buy this lamp on Amazon from the following authorized dealers:

• Optoma BL-FU200A – Original OEM Front Projector Lamp with Housing by Orsram Lighting
