I'm looking for a replacement bulb for a Panasonic AE700. I figured it was such a popular projector that many have replaced just the bulb, unfortuantely I didn't find it when searching the threads. The original bulb is UHM 130 watt. The bulb reference chart that I was able to find did not list the AE700, but all the Panasonic projectors listed all pretty much used JYd /AC bulbs of various wattages. My bulb is blown so I'm not able to figure out much about it and haven't been able to find the specifications for it online elsewhere. I'd like to go with a somewhat brighter bulb so I was hoping to be able to use at least a JYd150/AC or maybe even a 200 providing I could still use the same ballast. Any help would be appreciated. Also, what do you use to cement the base of the bulb into the fixture? TIA
A couple of things I probably should have mentioned about this bulb is that it is double ended with both filaments being the same size. I have been unable to find out any data specifications on the ballast even in the AE700 service manual. Also, I am unable to test voltage as my bulb is completely blown. The reflector is 2" x 2" and from the base of the bulb to where the glass attaches makes it is 2" deep as well. Another poster was asking about the Panasonic AE900 bulb in This Thread. The pictures of both assemblies appear to be identical but the AE900 is rated at 1100 lumens versus the AE700's 1000 lumens. Both projectors use pretty much the same chassis, but I have checked both service manuals and they use different part # ballasts. When searching threads for information I had seen a mention of limited success replacing UHM bulbs, but no mention was made of specific projectors this applied to. Still looking for help and I don't really need to be spending $300+ for a factory bulb at the moment.
sorry to bring such a old thread back up, just curious to see if anybody had made any progress on finding a cheaper solution to replace the ae700 lamps.
Thanks
