This thread is to serve a addendum to ywh's very long thread for getting 3rd party bulbs and ballast for your older commercial projector or as use for a diy project.
For those who aren't aware 18wheeler and ywh have a website dedicated to ordering specific bulbs.

There is also a pdf file for a list of known projectors that ywh can offer. It's based on primarily older business projectors so newer ones like the Infocus X1 aren't listed so you have to either search the thread to see if your projector is supported or not. Note: You need to be a registered user to read this file.

So what to use this thread primarily:
1. Tips/tricks on how you placed your bulb within the ceramic casing
2. Usage history- how long has it lasted and/or any problems after instalation. It might be helpful if you included the projector used.
