I found these on EBAY earlier today, I think this could work for DIY projectors!!
500 Watt Fluorex Grow Light - READY TO HANG
This light uses a new light technology called FluoreX - it not HPS or MH - it has the same light spectrum as a MH light. Has a Kelvin rating of 6500 and puts out over 8,000 Lumens based on a study conducted at Stanford University. putting out the Blueish/White Full Spectrum Light so commonly found in Metal Halide bulbs but only draws 65 watts of electricity - which only costs pennies a day to operate.
Perfect for the vegetative stage and cloning. It gives off so little heat it is perfect for smaller spaces, and for places where heat may cause a problem.
Size is approx. 12" x 8"
Brand new - tested before shipped out.
Comes with 6ft cord that plugs into any standard household outlet - ALSO comes READY TO HANG with 2 S-hooks and two - 4 foot lengths of chain that makes adjusting the height of the light extremely easy.
HERE IS THE EBAY LINK!

that was one of the first rejected light sources around 2 years ago when this forum started. cant remember what was wrong with it, but it just didnt work right. |

2 years ago, these are brand new like this month!
??????
I saw one of these today, very bright, 8000 lumens, 6500k, and reflect nicely.
If you can find out why these would not work I would love to know before i buy 1.

2 reason why that won't work...
1. it's not a point source of any kind.
and 2. 8000 lumens. My bulb is 33,000 lumens and the EYE lumenlabs is using is 36000 lumens.
You would need 4 of them... and even THAT wouldn't work.

| The bigger the bulb, the bigger the reflector! For DIY Video, you want the smaller the bulb, the smaller the reflector. Ideally you want a micro SUN with around 5 to 6 K light temp with controllable output and no heat. Find that, please! |

I wish i could find a small bulb with a small reflector capable of delivering 40,000 lumens with little heat and a 6500k color temp.
If i could find this I would be a very happy guy!

| it may be a new product, but that EXACT thing was the FIRST real proposed light source on this forum, trust me. |

| What if you used a dif. reflector turning it into a point light? |
|
|
| cowanrg |
| it was called the LOA (light(s) of america?). it was that exact same thing. everyone tried to use it. i even had one. it had decent light output, but was very diffuse. search for LOA, and you will see posts dating back to early 2002 regarding the lamp. |

That will be the greatest invention (in lighting) after Thomas Edison |

for some reason, you really think this is the next best thing.
its not. as stated above, its too diffuse to work, and even if you could put it into a light collector, you would need 4 of them. if you can design something that collects light from 4 of these, focuses it, and sends it into one beam, i applaud you. but that would be VERY difficult to do. |

Well u can turn it into a point of light, place it in a box and drill a small hole in the side of the box, there's your point of light lol:D

haha.
i remember way back in the days people tried that... putting the light in a box, poking a hole, and coating the whole inside of the box with reflective paint, or foil.
did it work? no. :) |

It works with a halogen, the box turns into an oven lol, modd a cordless screw driver to stay on all of the time, abit of wire and u got a rotisery lol.:D
But yeah seriously, if they wer bright enough and if the loa did work it would be good heat wise, though, from 1 year of discusion of this type of lamp, i havnt seen anything working too crash hot yet lol.
2001 i think that bulb was mentioned in here, or atleast in this site: http://www.audiovisualizers.com/madlab/lcd_proj.htm
from good old trusty bill.

I did do a search on LOA; I now understand the situation a little better. Thanks for the humor:)
Since I have an LOA already I might mess with it anyway. |
