Hello everyone,
Still doing lots of research in my goal of building a very high output projector using really bright bulbs.
I may have hit a roadblock.
There are cheap ballasts/ignighters used for the long arc
MH lamps (1500 watt, 2000 watt). No biggie.
When I contacted companies about their ballasts for MSR-1200 and similiar short arc, single ended lamps... the quotes are about $900 for the ballast (non-electronic), and double that for electronic.
Yowsers.
Anyone into bulbs enough to know weather or not a 1500 watt ballast used for 15" long MH lamps would fire and run a MSR-1200 lamp without significantly reducing the life of the bulb?
On my project of putting a ScreenPad LCD in a club light, it works for a short period of time but the light is concentrated on a very small part of the screen. It rapidly heats, goes black, then the anti-glare + polarizing filter will vilolently errupt. I will post pics and report on web soon.
