[simpits-tech] Projector question

[Höltschi Thomas]

Sean,

Do you have checked the power of the lamp?
My projector has a 120Watts OHP lamp. So I think the lamp draws about 500mA
at 240Volt.

I have been pulling my projector apart to see if there is a way of fitting 
a non-standard (read "cheaper") lamp to it, as mine blew it's arse (that's 
"ass" for our american-english readers) a month or so back :)

I got all the safeguards tricked, except the one which tests for a suitable 
load on the lamp line.....  Anyone got any idea of what sort of voltage / 
current these lamps pull?  I figure that if I can add a suitable load to 
the line then I can fool the projector into thinking that the bulb is in 
place.... Then I can add an external light source (space is not a 
concern...) in an enclosure out of the top the unit (with it's own cooling 
setup and power source, probably 230VAC and lots of watts...)

Any ideas suggestions (preferably not lewd and/or involving sheep or trout) 
or ideas......

Sean
