Lamp Life Management in Hybrid Fixtures

Managing lamp life in hybrid fixtures ensures consistent brightness and minimizes unexpected failures during shows. Most lamps have a rated lifespan, often 1,500 to 2,000 hours. Track operating hours using the fixture’s onboard menu or DMX software. Replace lamps slightly before the end of their life to avoid flickering or reduced intensity. Avoid frequent on/off cycles, which shorten lifespan. Always allow proper cool-down before powering off to protect lamp integrity. Use genuine replacement lamps for optimal compatibility and performance. Regular optical cleaning and proper ventilation also support lamp longevity by reducing internal heat and contamination.
