Hi Guys,
I have an Epson EMP-30 DLP Projector. My projector lamp is not lighting up and when I measured its resistance I got Infinite ohms. However, when I tried to check the voltage on the leads in the projector, I didn't get any voltage output. The lamp is rated for 130W 80V (LAMP No. ELPLP19). The projector's warning light (bulb/temp) comes on when I turn on my projector.
1) What metal-halide bulb do you guys recommend I replace the original lamp with? I don't what to pay hundreds of dollars for an original projector lamp that's rated for 1500Hrs.
2) Will I be able to retrofit the new metal-halide bulb with the projector's power supply? What are your recommendations how I should go about it?
3) Since I'm not getting a voltage reading in the connectors of the projector, should I circumvent the internal power supply and buy an external ballast? If that's a possibility, How can I override the warning circuit in the projector and use a lamp with an external power supply?
Any help is highly appreciated,
Mario
