VPL-FX500L
Versatile Installation Projector
Single-lamp system:
When there’s a problem with the lamp,
the presentation has to stop.
Dual-lamp system:
When there’s a problem with
one lamp, brightness is halved and
presentation's impact is diminished.
Twin-lamp system:
Even when a lamp has a problem,
there is no worry to continue
the presentation.

system and dual-lamp system by cutting maintenance time
and cost. In addition, the VPL-FX500L is designed to deliver a
low total cost of ownership, and includes eco-friendly features
such as long-lasting lamps and low power consumption.

FEATURES
Twin-lamp System for Peace of Mind Operation
One lamp can output a total of 7,000 lumens but a second
lamp is built in to provide automatic backup should the
primary lamp fail. The two lamps are alternately used,
achieving a recommended lamp replacement time of
approximately 8,000 hours, saving maintenance time and
cost.
