PS - The lamp replacement costs $837 according to AudioEnz, for the AE100.
I don't know who "AudioEnz" is, but Panasonic Canada quoted $350 USD to a member of AVS: http://www.avsforum.com/avs-vb/showt...E100+Bulb+cost
So in Normal mode, $350/2000 hours gives a usage cost of $0.18 per hour ; Econo mode would be around $0.09 per hour assuming a 4000 hour bulb life.
