The Epson EB-L610U projector uses a laser diode lamp technology, which does not require replacement in the same way that traditional lamps do. The laser diode has a rated lifespan of up to 20,000 hours in ECO mode, which is significantly longer than traditional lamp-based projectors. This means that the projector can be used for several years without needing to replace the lamp, and the total cost of ownership may be lower due to the reduced maintenance and replacement costs.

However, if the laser diode does need to be replaced, it should be done by an authorized Epson service technician. The replacement process may require the disassembly of the projector, which can be complex and should only be performed by a trained professional. Epson provides detailed instructions for servicing and repairing their projectors in the user manual and service documentation.

It is worth noting that the long lifespan of the laser diode lamp also means that the projector will likely become obsolete before the lamp needs to be replaced. As technology advances and new features become available, users may choose to upgrade their projector rather than replacing the lamp.
