How often do you clean your FP filters?


It depends on operating conditions (low/high brightness), dust conditions ... The faster the fan will be running the more frequently filters should be cleaned.

I have been operating my FP for 250 hours now but have not cleaned it once. It is running in its very dimmest mode in a sealed room where dust is obviously minimal.

Not cleaning the filters can create some issues over time (dust blob build-up, overheating if filters get clogged). But It is hard to say when this will happen.

I am just a little lazy because the projector has to be dismounted/cleaned and mounted and re-ajusted.

I think I will do it today (250 hours is enough)...
