Lamp and laser projection compared All projectors do a similar job – letting audiences enjoy bright, beautiful images. But inside there’s a choice of technologies, both with their own merits. Conventional lamp-based projection is still a great option. What’s the difference? For decades, projectors have exclusively used a powerful lamp as their light source. More recently, they’ve been joined by projectors using a long-lasting semiconductor laser light source. Sony’s Z-Phosphor™ laser light source maintains exceptional image quality, with less environmental impact. Laser is rapidly gaining popularity, and today you’ll find both technologies being used in a wide range of applications, from corporate environments and education to visitor attractions and visual simulation. Which is brighter? It’s not simply the case of one technology being brighter than another. Many of Sony's projectors are available as corresponding laser or lamp-based models, both offering exactly the same brightness and similar features in the same chassis. Which gives best picture quality? With laser technology you have a wider range of colours, and sharper contrast between them compared to lamp models. Ideal when you have detailed images or video content to display. However, every Sony projector – lamp or laser – delivers richly-detailed, high impact images with excellent colour and contrast. Which lasts longer? The reliable laser light source in Sony's projectors offer an impressive operating life of up to 20,000 hours. Conventional lamps, in comparison, require more frequent replacement. However, advanced Sony technology extends the lamp life of our latest projector models to as much as 10,000 hours (depending on model) – an impressive achievement for lamp technology. Which needs less maintenance? Laser is the very attractive option here. The light source effectively needs no maintenance during its operating life. So it’s a great choice for projectors that are permanently installed in inaccessible or hard-to- reach locations.
