so ive done my wireing and im still here smile.gif

when i lit it up for the first time the bulb seemed dim, but i didnt have any lenses in or reflector, just the top open looking in, do bulbs take a while to get super bright?
im using ll everything, tescorp case

is there a way to know if the bulbs in a ll the way, i dont want arching and I dont want to break the bulb?

also if i use the thing then go in 5 min later, can i get shocked, as in the ballest stores charge, if so how long should i wait after turning off the projector before tinkering???
