Such Dangbei Mars Pro, offers incredible more than 20,000 hours life span with the latest ALPD laser technology. The end of the projector’s life is mostly caused by the aging of the internal circuit board, as well as the burning of the DMD chip pixels or the aging and deformation of the resin lens in the optical path; in addition, the projector using the bulb light source needs to replace the bulb within 2-3 years. However, this operation does not directly affect the life of the projector.
