I got my new lamp. It is for commercial projection use. people use it to replace the

dank u wel........but your explanations are not quite clear....sumthing's must have been lost in translation

do you turn on the projector ?

[haver1]

Dank U for your flawless Dutch!

No! Do not turn on the projector. All is done with the lamp housing detached from the projector. Many projectors use a down stepping regulator, which means that their lamps are directly connected to the mains. A detached lamp while still connected to the projector's power supply is extremely dangerous!

The procedure I described is completely carried out with the lamp housing outside the projector, and in no way connected to the projector. All I did was to make sure that the source of the light (The arc) is in focus when viewed from 30-40 cm above the centre of the reflector. A larger distance may be required for different models of projectors, but this is what worked quite well with my Hitachi. And of course, the best thing to do is to have this look at the original lamp/housing/refelctor combination, before you take out the defective lamp, and make careful notes about the view, or even better, pictures.

Again: good luck, and do not hesitate to ask me when something seems to be lost in translation.

oh ok thanks, that's the way I tried to do it.......

but the arc is so short(1mm) that it's a hit or miss..

and YWH advised me to turn on the pj, put some cement, stick the reflector in front of a wall, search for the most brightful position and wait until it dries up.

if I put silicone gloves and don't smoke pot, I can't quite electrify myself

Hi Folks, dear guru YWH,

I got a Eiki beamer XNB4. I think the lamp needs to be replaced, but i´m not sure, as it´s not broken, not dusty or exploded. The beamer just stopped working from one day to the other.

I noticed that the wire that comes out of the glass of the lamp is not directly connected anymore, but rather "crossed" (is this still working?)

What kind of replacement lamp do i need? It says UHP 200W, the lamp replacement number is 610 293 2751, which will give you lots of incredible expensive replacements (500$!)

<B>All UHP lamps I see at 18wheeler have a <u>litte glass bulb in the middle</u>, but mine does is just a straight glass without any bulb!!</B>

What kind of lamp do I need?

Cheers,

Tom

[leeperry]

your wire looks oxydated in the hole

[ywh]

Hi loudeye !
your UHP lamp has a <u>litte glass bulb in the middle too, you can pull it out to take a pic.

you need JYD/AC.

[loudeye]

Ok, thank you! I see that there is also a blub in it, it´s just deep inside! How stupid of me.

So replacing the old with a JYd-SE lamp (AC) from 18wheeler will be the best?

Or do you think I can do anything other? Does the fact that the wire looks broken mean that the whole lamp is not working anymore or is this just normal?

[ywh]

Hi loudeye !
there is litte glass bulb in the too!
you can ask 18wheeler to get JYd-SE lamp (AC) 200W
or you can try to contact the broken wire again,

Hello ywh,

Can you please confirm whether the JYs 180w AC is the correct bulb for my NEC MT1040 (180W NSH Life: 2000 hour ) if not please advise.
Thankyou very much

Hi ywh!!

I have finally take some pics of my lamps!
Can you find out what type is it?
In two cases, it's impossible to see the electrode gap due to mirror effect of the reflector.
In the Epson, the bulb looks like 'cloudy' too.
