I was off on the 1,000 hours. I thought I was near 900 and rounded up, but last night I saw that I was at 750, not 850. But I do tend to run this thing for as much as 12hrs on weekends, and several hours every night. On Saturdays it often gets fired up at 9 am for College Game Day and does not go off until after mid-night.

I bought the bulb warranty for $125, so I'm not overly concerned. I do run it on Eco mode often as the light decrease is minimal. Also, I run the fan on high as I can't hear it so why not keep it a tad cooler in there.
