whats the story with bulb life?

> 2500hr (replacing, not failure time) or 800hrs if treated well like pinkmouse says?

oh yeh and if you're gonna order one of these prime, maybe we could do a group order... any other aussies are keen?

[prime]

Osram seem to have 2 different 300W HTI lamps, one with 750 hour life the other with 3000 hour life. so I hope ywh's lamp is like the 3000 hour type. Here are the catalogue links:

bodgy: I was thinking that there may be other aussies interested so we could ask ywh to send ours direct to Australia.

I'm currently using a 150W (osram HQI-T/Sylvania HSI-T) lamp with 8mm(?) arc in my OHP retrofit with SGI 1600ww (only using part of lcd), I was previously using 150W lamp with 17mm arc and there is a definite improvement with the shorter arc so a 3.5 arc will be even better. links for my current lamp:

The lamp / ballast set was bought from a factory near me, but they

input, the ballast needs to be modified. The manufacturer requires at
least ten sets to be ordered in order to make such change.
,

ywh - the 220 ballast is good for me , In Israel we use 220v.

BTW can you see my mails?

Thanks

The lamp is not a HTI300. The manufacturer has rated lamp as 2500 hr. Hope ywh will get more specification from the manufacturer. then we will know what it resembles.

[ywh]

The lamp is not an ordinary MH lamp. The manufacturer stated it as UHP
(ultra high pressure) lamp. On the other hand, I used HTI300, the lamp
was very hot, print paper will be scorched at 8cm away, 250W HQI will
do the same at 3cm distance, and this lamp is cooler than 250W HQI. I
havn't test the "scorching distance" yet.

I won't mix 250w lamp with a 150W ballast. Most likely it won't light. And there is danger that the ballast might be damaged. but it would be fun to try out 150W lamps that ywh has.

The projector is Hitachi CP-S830
