Retrofit a InFocus lp 580

Re-Animator · 10th February 2006, 08:28 PM

I have got this projector for the sole purpose of putting in a cheap bulb, also it does not have the origenal lamp, so here is my idea/question wat kind of lamp do i need to put in hti,hqi,cdm-t etc.... that will work with the internal ballast. I know it runs a 150 watt MetalHalide bulb at 65 volts. Also where would i get it from how could i build a reflector?

ps im a lost sheep

but i am optimistic

pss i have found that other thread

1. Look up the original replacement part number from the manufacturer.
2. Do an internet search for the bulb. Most supliers will post pictures and specs.
3. After this you can maybe go to a local repair shop and find a burnt up version for free or at least what it looks like in person.
4. Post what you found and maybe someone can help you.
5. I personally was trying to find a replacement for an osram vipr273/35r for my davis power beam 6. I tried a higher voltage bulb and the electronic ballest would not keep it going. If you are going to use the original ballast you must find a bulb of the correct or lesser voltage. Im sure there is a range in witch the wrong specs will work but im sure it will be close to the original. Too low and you will overdrive it and it will burn up early. Too high and it may not start or may start then shut off early from too high current draw just like my old bulb did.
