Metal Halide for Sale
Anyone interested in an extra HMI 575 /GS halide bulb.
Same model from OSRAM that works in dukane 680 and other professional equipment.
I bought an extra one for my OHP (which no longer works)
Bulb is brand new not used.
Im seriously considering just buying an LCD projector.
Im so sick of things breaking on me without a warrenty 🙁
If interested email me
sucker_fish@hotmail.com
Thx guys, for all the help in the past.

sorry it took so long
i didnt feel like writing a novel to explain this so i hope you guys under stand the picture i attached here. it might be kinda big depending on the light you use. no i have not made it. and still got doubts about the size it has to be to fit my mh 400w light.it looks like it might be a giant. but hey i think logically i might work.

wow
I really withold myself from not grabbing the phone Bryan....
I do not think it would be good for everybody to start calling them for 1 lcd. Maybe soemone should call them reprecsenting the whole forum and aks all the relative questions and ofcourse the prize tag...
i am definitely interested, i can see the whole casing getting shorter already!!!!

Re: wow
I would have to agree.... one person should figure out some prices and let us know, instead of all of use calling up and bothering the guy 🙂
nice find though!

HEEHHHEH I just sent an email to that select deminsion dude. I hehe i called him a lamer and told him my projector blows his off the face of the planet 😛 why do i like to be so mean wtf have i been drinking?

Ha, I bet he didnt expect someone to say their DIY unit was better. He should be ashamed of himself outrightly lieing and taking advantage of dumb people. I hate scamers, he looks like a pro at it by his website. Did you see his lcd projector? It looks like a tank from wwII and he wants $800.00 fo it. LOL🙄
Select deminsion website...lolololol
Man I wonder where they got that model to hold that sleek device...she is hot..lololol....but really what is she holding...because the projector looks large then there is a pic of her holding one in her hand...as if it is a "Fun Size"?????

Huh? I guess it is small. Still ugly! Anyhow it must be a small panel with low res. I garuntee his projection doesnt look like the image behind that uhmmm, "model"...hehe😉
Great idea Biteon!
Based on yours, but little different:
Instead of using big fresnel panel to produce parallel rays, I use circular array of 8 convex lenses + 1 convex lens in front of the lamp. Each lens should be placed at 1 focal length distance from point light source. Would be perfect if we can find square lens!
Spherical reflector function is to reflect back the light to very near it's point light source origin, so we have more intensity point light source now. Lamp should be placed at center of reflector radius.
Flat mirror is to reflect all the parallel rays to the LCD panel. Size total of 8 mirrors in circular array should be slightly bigger than LCD panel size. There are some gaps between the mirror, but I think due to imperfect parallel rays we get, it will covered up with some splitter rays.
Any comment?
See you.

Hey guys. I've been uh..... slacking on the project. Yeah. Its in this giant pile or stuff in my living room corner. Hehe. However, I just sent out the money order on monday morning for a new 1000W/U/BT37 bulb, Mogul socket, and Advance 1000W multi-tap ballast kit all for $120 shipped, about $25 more than I paid for my 400W setup. Pretty good deal.
Anyways, I'm going to give this a shot. I need a plate of low-e glass for heat issues, can anyone give me a quick link to one I can purchase?

Doesnt surplus shed have'em? Anyhow low-e glass or this stuff here this is a clip of a article on conservatorys...
"Conservatories that are subject to building regulation approval are likely to have Pilkington K Glass or low E glass specified in order to conform to the "U" values required by building regulations. "
question
"We are having a hard wood conservatory installed using Pilkington K Glass. In the rest of the house the double glazing has laminated glass. I think Pilkington supply K glass in a laminate form. I just wondered if this would be suitable for a conservatory.
answer
This question answered by Brendan Bermingham - Pilkington K glass is definitely available in laminated form and it would be more than suitable for a conservatory. I wonder why your house is glazed using laminated glass? Perhaps it was because it gives increased security over ordinary window glass or toughened safety glass, it gives superior sound insulation and it cuts down uv radiation by 99.5% which stops your furniture fading.
As your conservatory is being built now it will be to late to change the specification, but an ideal spec would be Pilks K laminated/4mm antisun. The antisun will reduce heat build up and glare.
Anybody know anything about this Pilkington K Glass? This may work well for what you need also but maybe be not as dark?😕
Undream- holly cow 1000watts! Whats the lumens on that bad boy? Anyhow what reflector, I dont think you even need one huh...just a condensor and away you go. Me I'm happy with 15,000 lumens, a parabolic reflector and a fres, that is soon to be replaced with a condensor lens. Oh and a couple of 3m films before the lcd also...hehe.😉

"my current setup:
150W-12.000 lumens double-ended MH lamp,"
Hehe. I thought I was the only oneusing a low powered bulb.. 175watt mh small arc tube. Mogul, m57 ballast runs both 150 and 175mh plus High presure sodium bulbs, though I dont know why. Anyhow good to se someone else going the sam eroute. My figures were:
Smaller bulb='s less heat. Also smaller arc tube, lots smaller. Smaller panel a smaller beam of light needed. Thus the less heat making for the lcd to set closer to the bulb. How far is your bulb to panel? Mine is about 5" from center of bulb to edge of lcd! That allows more light into the panel without escaping. Also this makes the reflector more effective since the bulb is smaller and the smaller bulb matches the smaller lcd (mine is 5"). Plus smaller reflectors are a heck of alot easier to find or make. How do you like your lower powered bulb. I love mine. Works great. Next to no heat, but lots o light and easy on the electric bill!

????? definitely flaw

Any comment?
I may not understand what I am doing, (Je pense donc je suis, at least) but putting a light bulb vertically in front of a reflector requires POWER (and consequently, because you do not wat to use a fluorex) produces HEAT. Because of vertical mountin light gets LOST !!!!! There are only 2 ways to avoid this.
primo) a hole in the center of the reflector and lamp mounted horizontally or
secundo) in front of the reflector, again horizontally and trying to avoid the shade of the wiring of the lamp.
any other system is doomed Gua... sorryto tell you this bluntly but i DO NOT believe in any other system set up
Look at some of us going for 1000 watters ????? what is the loss in percentage ? astronomical but no loss in heat, resulting in astronomical heat (undream can pop corn on top of his projector!)
No one answred to my suggestion of using a car lamp. I bought the Sylvania lamp (complete set including glued on reflector for $12.50 ) and am looking at it right now! Again, Gua... i cannot say anything else than WOW , simple, fool proof, i can use this instead of 2 fluorex( cost $65 reduced to $12.50) and the result is the same, i have to say in all honesty, the car set gives more color to the screen than the fluorex and is a tad brighter!
I like this forum, but sometimes there is something missing...
i have to find the right words ....

car light
Before someone accuses me of cheating or wrong doing, if you are going to use a lampset from a car (Cutlass 84 or so, zyou know the rectangular shape, a bit wider than a 5.6 inch) you have to install the lamp in a small angle backwards. The type i used has more carvind on the lower side and reflects thus more light! The difference was noticable when i used a dark screensaver) Without the diffuser the beam was TOOOOOOOO bright!
and now back to you folks.

Re: troubles i've seen
Hi Uvodee,
how did you manage to extend the cable? Because i need to extend mine on my lcd too. Did you do it by yourself or is there anyone who made it?
My cable has 30 contacts; how many had yours? Can i buy this cables in a longer version somewhere???
regards andy

HuH? How does verticle mount use more power. Mine is universal mount. I can mount it diagnal if I want. Or are you refering to your flourex? Confused???
"any other system is doomed Gua... sorryto tell you this bluntly but i DO NOT believe in any other system set up

Dont see what you mean? I'm using 175watts MH very effectivly for a 62" diag. image! It just depends on how big a image you want. Now I dont really think you are getting a 10' image with one car headlight that is only a 55watt or even a 100watt halogen. If you are you got good eyes! Your looking at about 1,200+ lumens vs. my 15,000 and to boot I have LESS HEAT. A MH is alot cooler than any Halogen of = watts. Heck my 10o halogen 90watt 1,200 lumens bulb is twice as hot as my 175watt MH, this I know. Now I know MH is expensive cause of the ballast BUT have you ever tried MH to put it down like that? You couldnt have or you would know some things are dif than you said! I personally have used Halogen then Flourex then MH. MH blew them all away, no going back. Colors are perfect and its way more of a point light source than flourex. This makes reflector more effective. Heck I'm using a highly buffed stainless steel mixing bowl for my reflector and it works really well. The bulb just fits and the arc tube is centered in the bowl both ways.

how i managed to extend the cable ........ trhough headaches!!
i had to extend a 20 pos and a 10 pos laminated cable
laminate = thin film like they use for feeding printerheads etc....
the cable lengths i got by looking at the PARLEX website and contacting Mike Birsch (he is going to kill me now)!!
then i used liquid silver contact ( i got taht in Belgium but i am sure you can buy this in the US, maybe Radioa shack
i glued the 2 non covered sides of the cable with the silver solution together (carefull that you DO NOT use too much as the solution could spread to other leads, there is not a lot of spacing between them as mine had e.g. 20 leads on a 16.8 mm wide cable.
THEN I WENT TO THE WEBSITE OF MOLEX and looked for the right connector ( a connector that you can mount on a pcb and has on the other side some kind of ZIF socket style. i could post a piture of one i have left over with 10 and 20 poc but regretgfully my camera is no good in close ups. Anyway when you go to the MOLEX website, you just look for the connectors you want, you can get tech support by phone, and then order samples ( do not exagerate OK????) FREE OF CHARGE (I LOVE CORPORATE AMERICA) You get them a few days later (you can follow your shipment on their website), unfortunately i cannot remember how it arreived: trhough mail or Fedex , i thinkit was the latter.
I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANY OF YOU GUYS TO FOLLOW MY CRUSADE
I am sure that if i need to make another projector (i have made 3 so far) i will go for the PSONE lcd, if my eyes are still focussing, that lcd only has one cable and can easily be bent out of the view of the light beam!

Tinker said:
I believe you , i never told any one that fluorex was a point light source, they are flood light, but please do not loose out of eye that because the fluorex is placed in the closest proximity of the lcd as possible, the set up changes it's purpose and with good result i may add. ALlthough i did state that the sylvania lamp gives a better colorlook, allthough with yellow it seems to have a slight problem (intensifies it remarkably ) but that i gues, will be explained by some much smarter guys on this forum, for which i always hold my breath!
