What is the average bulb life?
Aetek Arc Lamps are warranted for 1,000 hours of use, and many users attain as much as 2000 hours of useful life. Actual life will depend on power levels used to cure (using only low and medium power levels will extend the life of a lamp); maintenance programs that include regular cleaning of the bulbs and reflectors (if allowed to remain dirty, the power level needed to cure must be increased, which will shorten lamp life); excessive heat in the lamp housing caused by improper airflow (i.e., the blower is not functioning, or the air hoses are damaged or blocked), which will shorten lamp life.
