From memory, these lamps give out a considerable amount of UV too - not the good type either! I won't say be careful, cause you can't do this stuff carefully ha ha, but please do take precautions for your eyesight and skin!
Mine projector has a 300 W discharge lamp, yes it is bright and expensive £160. A high voltage striker gets it running and it takes a minute to get chooching. Not recommended to look at it without filters. The actual discharge globe is the size of a pea and under very high pressure. Check out " I Max projector lamp change "
@@WOFFY-qc9te was more to find out what's needed to have that level of "fun" as when I have ran old projector light sources out the housing they sure haven't been setting things on fire, but we're in the 50w range.
You need to put a lens on it so you can focus the beam at a distance, perhaps you can set your fence on fire? Next video will be a laser surely? I remember the lovely smell from pine cones burned with a magnifying glass in the sun
@@TheCORC964 funny how the lamp kept going even though it was on fire with the wd40 At the end I noticed where the power supply was and the reason why it kept going was that you were only initially putting the water on the low voltage boards which would make little difference unless the water was salty so I was on the edge of my seat wondering when you would put the water into the power supply section. Eventually you did right at the end and it died as just expected - did the breaker trip?
