The PT-LB426 Series has a maximum lamp replacement cycle of 20,000 hours.*1 The air filter also has a replacement cycle of 10,000 hours.^*2 This reduces maintenance hassles for long periods of use, and helps to lower maintenance costs and reduce environmental impact.

^{*1 This is the maximum value when the lamp power is set to Eco2. The usage environment affects the lamp replacement cycle. *2 The usage environment affects the duration of the filter.}
