Projector light bulb?

How long does the average lightbulb in a good projector last? Like if I were to get a used projector cheap on craigs list can i trust that I won't immediately have to get a new bulb. Also if I would need to get a new bulb how much do the usually cost?

Projector lamps typically need to be replaced every 2000-3000 hours of use. But that's how long they theoretically SHOULD last, the amount of time they ACTUALLY last varies by use and the user settings. For example, if you have the brightness turned way up, that will decrease the life of the bulb.

And projector lamps are also quite expensive. They can go for $400-$500.

Unless you have a dedicated theater room or really need a huge screen, I really don't recommend a projector. They are pretty impractical and they aren't very good for casual viewing, you need a dark/dim room for the picture to look good as well. And they also require quite a bit of maintenance.

And if I did buy a projector, I would never buy one of ebay/craigslist etc. You don't know anything about the history of the projector or how it's been treated. And you also don't know how old the lamp is, the bulb could go out a week after you get it for all you know. So if you have your heart set on a projector, I recommend saving up and buying a new projector from a trusted retailer.
