"The interesting thing about the Iwasakis is that it can be run off of a Mercury Vapor ballast. This actually makes it run brighter and presents it as being bluer to the human eye."
Running brighter is good, but will this result in a bluer screen? Or will the colors from the panel more or less completely mask this?

I'm seriously game for trying this out....
What's everyone's opinion? 250w MH bulb enough, or is 400w the way to go? It's only a $40-$50 price difference, not enough that it *really* matters, but if I'm going to retrofit my OHP with MH, I'd like to do it right. 🙂

Lifter said:My OHP has a 575w MH bulb. While I'm very happy w/ it, it could be brighter.
Did you retrofit that yourself, or was the OHP built that way?

useing MH is like brute force. Its about how much usable light is getting through. I say 500 minimum, 1000 idealy.
