How to Install Optoma BL-FU365B Replacement Lamp

• Power off the projector and unplug it from the power source. Allow the lamp to cool completely before attempting any replacement, as the housing and lamp can become extremely hot in operation.
• Remove the projector’s lamp cover following the user manual instructions. Keep in mind that some models require a single screw or a simple latch to release the cover. Handle the lamp carefully by its housing to avoid touching the glass surface.
• Loosen and remove the old lamp by unscrewing or releasing the mounting bracket, then gently pull the lamp out of its socket. Do not apply excessive force, and avoid touching the lamp glass with your fingers to prevent oil residue that can affect performance.
• Insert the new BL-FU365B lamp into the socket, aligning it correctly with the connector and mounting bracket. Secure the lamp firmly with the retaining screws or fasteners, ensuring a snug fit. Reattach the lamp cover and confirm that it’s properly sealed to protect internal components.
• Plug in the projector and power it on to verify operation. Some models may require a sensor reset or lamp-hour calibration in the on-screen menu. If the projector fails to boot or displays a lamp error, double-check connections, reseat the lamp, and consult the user manual for any model-specific reset steps.

Tip: After installation, allow the projector to warm up to its normal operating temperature. This helps stabilize brightness and color while the new lamp reaches its typical performance range. Regularly clean projector vents to maintain cooling efficiency and preserve lamp life. If you notice a sudden drop in brightness, color shift, or an unusual flicker, replace the lamp promptly to maintain optimal viewing quality and protect internal optics from excessive wear.
