I also need to rebuild my mount for the tft screen as it was originally designed for a 15" screen, with the 14" on a little light leaks out from the sides (as seen on the bottom of the attached images).
What I'd really like to know is a good UK based source for buying more of these 36v 400w halogen bulbs for this projector, again any suggestions much appreciated!
Chernobyl, I like the idea of sticking a MH bulb in the unit, especially as the bulb life seems so much greater! I'd love to seem some photos of that when its done. Will the MH bulb directly replace the halogen buld without modification? I'll take some photos of the inside of my projector at some point!
PS. please excuse the quality of the photos they were taken on my mobile phone camera |
Hi Luke
Cool pics
I ordered some spare bulbs from Ebay. If they are the same as my 36V 400W, searching for A1-239 or 64663 will find them. They were around £15 for 3 delivered.
I'm having a little trouble sourcing the MH lights for a decent price.
The UK supplier I was talking to has gone back on the pricing he gave me.
He also didnt include the lamp holders @ £19.60+vat!
He's been asked for further help with the price but it doesnt seem he can match buying from Germany.
The German supplier cannot get stock yet after the factories closed down for New Year, so I'm playing the waiting game. We're in contact via email, so hope to get results within the next 2 weeks.
I'll post details as soon as I have success ordering.
Good luck with the screen on the wall. Find the brightest Matt White you can unless you wish to use a paint on screen coating like ScreenGoo.
A good screen makes all the difference
