Lamp and ballast

Not open for further replies.
First of all i would like to say helooo. I have been doing some research recently on retrofitting lamps and ballasts to old projectors and this forum has been a godsend, thanks! Thanks to it i have now managed to over ride my ballast!!! Yay!!!

Now. I am at a stage where i have a working projector with no ballast and no lamp, and i was wondering if there are any recomendations of good ballasts that are most likely to fit inside the projector? Also what sort of Wattage should i be looking at (the original lamp was 160W 77V).


Also, will i be able to power a new ballast from the power supply board inside the projector?? And is it wise to modify the old lamp with a new bulb+ballast (to keer it compact) or can i just simply put a new bulb in the projector housing?

Is there anything else i should be thiking about?

Sorry for so many questions.

Jake
