I'd be interested in people's thoughts about the costs of lamps for "data
projectors". These cost from about $US400 to $US900 (perhaps more for very
top end models) and are typically about $600.

The lamps appear to be mercury bulbs with accompanying optics.
The prices SEEM to me to be out of all proportion to what is provided.

Has anyone any information that may indicate that the prices are in fact
justified?
Or is able to explain the complexities that cause these prices?

(The church that I am a member of has just bought a 2200 ANSI Lumen XGA LCD
projector. (Hitachi CPC385W).
Lamp life is nominally 2,000 hours. Replacement bulb cost is about $US600.)

Can you refill these yourself ? :-)      :-)      :-)      :-)      :-)
