Does the "Extreme Eco" mode function like a dynamic/variable (image-contents-based) thing, or does it just lower the lamp voltage in a "fixed" way?

Acer ExtremeEco technology reduces the lamp power to 30% enabling up to 70% power savings when there is no input signal, extending the lifespan of the lamp up to 7000 hours and reducing operating costs. 4,000 Hours (Standard), 5,000 Hours (ECO), 7,000 Hours (ExtremeEco)* * ) Lamp Life of ExtremeEco mode is based on an average usage cycle of 45 minutes ECO mode plus 75 minutes ExtremeEco (30% lamp power) mode

According to the User's Guide, in the Normal Power Consumption mode, lamp life is up to about 4,000 hours; in the ECOPower Consumption mode, lamp life is up to about 5000 hours. Lamp life will vary depending upon mode selected, environmental conditions, and usage. Brightness decreases over time.

Yes it turns it on low medium high and off... But remember it works only on incandescent bulbs and not fluroscent or led

No, don't think so - don't recall seeing anything about that either on the lamp or in the manual

I took info off the lamp bulb & lamp body. It's an 18w bulb(s) & it works off of 120v, 60HzAC, but I don't know what the PL is for, nor is it on the lamp.

It has nv mode all it does is dim the dot so its not over powering at night. It's not actually nv with ir.

Since I've only used 60W and the new ecological bulbs, I don't know know. Sorry

Yes, it doesn't "change" the voltage to dim the lights that's just a side effect of the PWM using the voltage.

The user guide under specifications says: Input: E27 - AC 100V-240V, 50Hz-60Hz; Socket E27. On the actual bulb, it says, 10W, 120V CE. I see nothing on the bulb or control that would switch it from 120 to 240.

None - it's USB. From their site: "The user selectable ECO mode removes power to computer peripherals connected to the ECO designated outlets when the UPS detects the computer, connected to the UPS via USB, is turned off or in sleep mode."

Yes, it works well. I usually set it to -.5 EV if there is mixed sun and artificial light in the room.

It does not include a lamp, so it is not necessarily voltage sensitive. The socket is a standard screw in for PAR type bulbs.

Chris, the power consumption is very low. The lamp utilizes LEDs. Unfortnately, I did not find the lamp effective for my purposes I only used the lamp once for 1 hour. If you like I would sell you my lamp for $25.00 USD. Contact me at nero_mpb@yahoo.com.

Yes, it works in bulb mode. You can either hold down the button for as long as you want or push the button then slide it forward to lock it in place then leave until you unlock it. :D!! Also, the cord is a very good length and the construction is quality. Great for astrophotography. It's worth the money in my opinion.

Check the Eco Settings under Menu|System|Eco Solution. You can set it to Energy Saver Off, Eco Sensor Off or do as I did and set it to Energy Saver Low, Eco Sensor On and set the Min backlight to at least 3.

The stupidly designed lamp is in demo mode by default. Unlatch the battery compartment, take out all the batteries then put them back in. Your lamp should now function normally. Yes, terrible design.

Mine does not light up green as well. Never gets lower than 80 so it does not bother me.
