Signing off the project

EUREKA..!!!!!!

Frens... I am done with my Projector. I managed to fix the foggy patch and waves problem on this weekend.
It took me just half a minute to fix it. Shielded cables, Connectors, Ground connections, LCD power supply... nothing was changed. Just a small addition and voila... it worked wonders. All that I added was a Anti-glare glass - the one that we use for computer monitors. If I slide through the glass at the light source, the patch and the waves go away instantly. The moment I remove it, the problem is there. It also keeps the heat from reaching the fresnels and the LCD. I dunno how I got this idea but it worked for sure... and we enjoyed watching movies on the BIG screen this weekend.

Hey Yousuf... I'm from B'lore too.... I have just managed to finish my PJ. When I was arranging for the spares, I could not locate any dealer in B'lore... maybe, I dunno B'lore well. So I got it from Pune (Lensel Optics) with the help of a fellow DIYer.

Cool...can he help me too!

Btw, where are you located? I really like to see your PJ. I am near Indirangar.

Maks, saw the photos. Great work. One suggestion - If you use a plain surface reflector instead of the textured one as seen in the photos, your results should be much better. Is the lamp 150 watts or 250?

Thanks for the suggest pollok... will give it a try. The lamp is currently 150 watts. Will upgrade it to 400 watts (and a plain surface reflector as you suggest) at a later time.

400 watts may be too hot Maks. Without proper heat resistant glass it may damage the lcd and fresnels. Should be very careful.

Maks great pj what is the distance between the LCD and the projection lense ?And thanks for the link to 3dlense.com .

Nice Job Maks, Glad to see more DIYers from India. Hope I get enough time to finish my PJ soon....

Yes, Pollok.... am aware of that. I will work out a adequate cooling and heat resistant system for that... the reason why I said in my post that I'll upgrade the lamp at a later time.

Just curious to know how much you paid from the MH setup? the fixture and the blast??

I paid Rs. 2000/-. It's a bit costly here in B'lore, but I didn't had a choice.

 

[pollok]

I bought the 150 watt mh lamp with the ballast and fixture for Rs.1170 here in Hyd'bad

That's gr8, Pollok. I know B'lore is costly in all terms. Agreed that OSRAM lamps are a bit costly than others, but I feel paying Rs. 650/- just for the lamp (excluding Ballast and fixture) is definitely not the way to go. What make is your lamp, btw?

Hi Maks,

Congrats on completing your project(or).

I have been following your work on this post and great to know your efforts have paid off well. Good work on the website, too.

I stay on Old Madras Road and will drop in some time to take a look at your work

Maks, This bulb is Halonex I think. Coz the box is gone (!) and the letters on the bulb have disappeared due to the heat and handling. The shopkeeper recommended this saying this has 1 year warranty and is cheaper than Osram. I don't remember the individual rates of ballast, fixture and the bulb. Altogether it came to 1170.
