Ideally a cheaper larger bulb too as the bulbs for the NEC are very expensive.  |  IP: Logged Carsten Kurz Film God Posts: 4340 From: Cologne, NRW, Germany Registered: Aug 2009 posted 01-19-2011 08:27 PM                     I don't think so, the original bulb is already a special high efficiency type. If you need more light, get a screen with a higher gain, or maybe a more light efficient 3D system, if the latter is the cause of your question. - Carsten  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

In fact, it, theoretically, ONLY goes to the NC800C (and IS8...since they are identical projectors). As such, there is normally a 4pc minimum, they are only OEMed though NEC and they are particularly expensive since there are not many of them made annually. -Steve  |  IP: Logged Amanda Mundin Expert Film Handler Posts: 122 From: Belper, Derbyshire, UK Registered: Sep 2005 posted 01-20-2011 04:26 AM                     Thanks a lot for your help  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-20-2011 09:37 AM                     The Cermax lamps used on the roadsters is also expensive and propretary  |  IP: Logged
