Hi Jazzbo! So can I ask, do you know what’s special about about the MH buld used in this projector? The one they use is a LOT cheaper and has a longer lifetime too. After writing the article I read of a lot of people who had conventional projectors and bulb cost and lifetime were a real issue for them!

Actually most projectors already use metal halide bulbs. MH is a blue-colored (sunlightish) bulb which is very high-efficiency compared to most other forms of lighting (exceptions are LED and High-pressure sodium). It’s the traditional Edison-style incandescent bulb that’s super inefficient–to the point that they should really be called heaters that light up, instead of light bulbs.
