Electronics Forum / Electronics / July 2008lcd projector lamps, home brew?
The lamp on my Sony LCD projector is over $500, and as far as I can tell its a normal 250w metal halide lamp. I was thinking of opening the casing and subbing a cheap lamp. The lamp is a dichroic mirror & Xenon Arc type, SONY part PK-PJ500 but on the lamp is MSCR250 Y1H. Anyone had experience subbing projector lamps? http://www.cvsmedia.co.uk/shop/projector-lamps-23/genuine-original-projector-lam ps-326/lamps-for-sony-projectors-51/lamp-for-sony-vpl-s500-vpl-v500-vpl-w400-lam p-code-pk-pj500-649.html http://f03batchimg.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/users/5/1/8/0/stauctions2006-imgbatch_11 98828487/600x450-2007122800001.jpg "tuppy" > The lamp on my Sony LCD projector is over $500, and as far as I can > tell its a normal 250w metal halide lamp. > I was thinking of opening the casing and subbing a cheap lamp. ** Cheap HID lamps ?? Where do you get them ? Or were you thinking of going QI ?? ..... Phil You find that those lamps can have a different colour temperature and thus throw out the white balance of the picture. Replaced once a lamp with the same part number but it had a different letter at the end and that resulted in a yellow cast over the picture (did not look good).

FWIW, I see several references to Sanyo MSCR250T1H lamps. Maybe Sanyo made your lamp. BTW, the full URL for the operating guide was ... http://www.sony.sk/biz/support/ShowExternalPage.action?product=PK-PJ500&site=biz _en_SK&pageType=manualPopup§iontype=Support&externalUrl=http%3A%2F%2Fpdf.crs e.com%2Fmanuals%2F3858065051.pdf&externalLinkType=manual http://preview.tinyurl.com/6ml9g8 ... but this leads to a registration page. The target URL is actually embedded in the full URL and can be accessed directly by cutting and pasting it into your browser. Maybe this trick can be applied to other annoying web sites. - Franc Zabkar  SignaturePlease remove one 'i' from my address when replying by email. |
