    330w is quite a lot for a projector, i assume thats a high pressure mercury lamp one?

    I recently switched to a laser one and the picture is still as bright but the power consumption is down by over 50%.

    Also after 2 times geting my face blasted by mercury vapors when the lamp exploded in the old one…i aint risking losing even more brain cells…there is a good reason the stopped selling those in the eu now

      Yes, it’s an older model that still uses those old lamps. I will probably switch over to a laser projector when it gives up the ghost, but so far, it works well.

      Thankfully, I never had a lamp explode on me. That sounds absolutely terrifying.

        Yeah on those projectors usually the lamp is what dies first, everything else in em could run for decades, i would advise on selling it while it still works to cover a bit of the price of a laser.

        That sounds absolutely terrifying.

        Yeah even thinking of it brings back that metallic taste in my mouth >.<
