Panasonic AE1000 just got a flicker! Help!

Been using my projector all morning and was fine, turned it on this evening and just started a flicker, or more it dims for about 3-4secs then returns to normal brightness and does this constantly turned it off and left it for a couple of hours but no joy, tried changing it to normal from eco mode no change also played with the iris and a few other setting nothing.

Is my lamp dying? its got about 670H on it filters cleaned regularly if it is the bulb where is the best place to get a new one??

I had a flicker on my AE2000, the fix is to run it in normal mode for a bit to make the bulb burn hotter and even out. Ran mine in normal for about 20 hours and it cleared it up.
