The important part you missed was "for something you want in your living room." The average setup is not going to be a 14' screen.
Oh if you are talking about living rooms, then my living room screen is going to be ~16' 🙂 (I have 8' ceilings in my basement, which is good for about 13.3' wide w/ a floor to ceiling image w/ widescreen anamorphic)
jeez, 90"? What a waste! Why don't you just buy a 13" CRT??? (hehehe HAHAHA!!!)
16 FEET?? thats what I'm talkin about!!!
SIZE MATTERS!!!

mwa HA HA HA HA!!
Anyone know if this ballast will work for the 250W HQI bulbs selling at DIYLABS.ORG?

No it wont work, if it doesnt say M80 or HQI-TS then its incompatible.

err yes...i already have the bulb in my sweaty palms! all i need now is the ballast! (not too far way) 🙂
usa_satriani said:Can we use just one ballast for 2 lamps? if you rewire all?
it would be so greaaaaaaaaaaaat
no, you would need to buy 2 ballasts or buy a dual ballast, and no it wouldnt be great 2 light sources unlinke heads arent better than one...lol
so ND, you are going to try this double bulb experiment, or did you mean that your double ended hqi is coming in the mail?

You damn crazy triscuit, your not supposed to touch it, remember to "whip it clean with a tissue before use". GEEEEEZZZZZEEEE.
NOTE: Yes i know you were using that sentance as a figure of speech (or atleast i hope) and for that reason this whole post was a joke (and kinda a safety warning).

Why do you think the double HQI idea would not work? Middle seam wouldn't wash out?

Wait I'm an idiot. What I really meant to say is, are you going to have 2 bulbs at your displosal to conduct the multi-fresnel multi-point source experiment?

huh? wha ? who? well im sorry but i never said i was conducting a "Multi" fresnel or anything liek that...lol
i have one HQI bulb and i will buy one HQI ballast to put in my OHP, just like rolm did. And i doubt that a multi-point light source will work(IMHO)
And what a humble one it is. Fix your damn location ND, or I will gut you like a gad damn fish. ERrrr staying on topic.. who knows a double hqi might work, try it and let us know?... And my ctx projector should be here today yahhh but now im going to sleep. OHOH and i gave a guy and inspection defect today at work, haha yahhh me.
hmmm.....
by double hqi I meant 2x hqi
So i guess you don't have 2 bulbs
Anyone else??
