I just saw some nice pictures the other day. Thought about posting them to the list, but didn't... http://graphics.samsclub.com/images/products/0001034384798_L4.jpg Is a pretty picture of the replacement bulb for an Epson Powerlite S1+ ($900). The bulb costs $160. and http://graphics.samsclub.com/images/products/0079721253291_L4.jpg Which looks like a plastic box with wires on one end, lens on the other, and vents on the side. Not nearly as interesting as the previous one. This goes to an Infocus Screenplay 4800 ($1088) and costs $276. If the links don't work then go to http://www.samsclub.com and search for projectors. -Adam Philip Stortz wrote: >so would i! i'd think you'd be able to use a short arc lamp and >appropriate power supply. those things are incredibly bright and not >nearly as expensive as the "original" bulbs seem to be. alternative >optics shouldn't be too hard either. > >Robert Rolf wrote: >-------- > > >>I'd be curious to see close up pictures of some of these >>pricey bulbs.
