Hey everyone!
I'm new to the forum, but I've been doing some serious researching, and wanted to share what I've found, as well as get your input...
I just bought an InFocus LP350 projector with a broken bulb on eBay for $99, shipping included. I did a little trivial research, and found out that the factory bulb is a 270W Metal Halide lamp. I then started my quest to find a bulb that would be as compatible as possible with the current electronics, and here's what I found. I'm awaiting confirmation on the MOL, but I think it's around 5.5". I'll need to fabricate a reflector for it, but that's not an issue for me. It's 250W, so it'll have a load difference of about 4.3 Ohms (calculated @ 120V, is that correct?)... Anyone think that might pose an issue to the power supply? I haven't metered anything yet, but I'm assuming the power feed (after striking) is 120V.
I've read that ywh has lamps for this series of projectors (LP340/350), but I'm just trying to broaden the horizon of possibilities...
Thanks so much for your time! 🙂
