Twin-lamp System for Peace-of-mind Operation
The VPL-FH500L’s twin-lamp system provides both peace of
mind and economical operation. One lamp can output a
total of 7,000 lumens but a second lamp is built in to provide
automatic backup should the primary lamp fail. The two
lamps are alternately used, achieving a recommended lamp
replacement time of up to 8,000 hours*, saving maintenance
time and cost.
*In Standard mode (with two lamps). Expected maintenance time, not guaranteed.
*
Lamp performance will vary based on operating environment and use.
Single-lamp system:
When there’s a problem with the lamp,
the presentation has to stop.
Dual-lamp system:
When there’s a problem with one lamp,
brightness is halved and
the presentation's impact is diminished.
Twin-lamp system:
Even if one lamp fails, the presentation
is able to continue without interruption.
What happens if one lamp suddenly fails during an important presentation?

Installation Advantages
Lens Shift Function
The VPL-FH500L has a Lens Shift function which is controlled
from the projector control panel or the supplied Remote
Commander
®
unit. Using this function, the position of the
projected image can be moved vertically by -113% to +113%
and horizontally by -63% to +63%. Images can be easily
adjusted to the desired settings during installation. With this
exceptional shift range, the VPL-FH500L can be installed in
a way to maximize performance even in the most difficult
environments.
Variety of Optional Lenses Including Sony’s Legacy Lenses
Various optional zoom lenses are available for the VPL-FH500L,
and these can be used for many different applications.
Centered Lens Design
The centered lens provides symmetry for a balanced
installation, and makes setup very simple.
"Blend-in" Design
The VPL-FH500L showcases a newly
designed low-profile chassis, so the
projector appears to blend into the
ceiling or wall on which it is mounted.
The connector panel is located on the
front of the unit so its cables cannot be seen by the audience.
