Outstanding economy and usability as the specialties of Laser & LED light source
Unique advantages of Laser & LED light source - no requirement of lamp replacement in 20,000 hours usage, extraordinary low energy consumption reduced by half3 realized excellent4 TCO5 Total Cost Of Ownership?surpassing high-pressure mercury lamp projectors. In addition, not like high pressure mercury lamp, no warming up and cooling interval for are needed for even re-starting just after shout-down. Projection in full brightness can be started within 5 seconds, which also can shut down and restart by one time of pressing of the ON/OFF button.
