Does anyone know how hot one of these gets:

and could it be used instead of a others such as Metal Halide and Halogen?
Thanks for your time!
Full Version: Flourescent Light
IT's a CFL.
The bulb won't get too hot.
I don't know about the ballast.
I'm going to be picking one or two of these up at HD as soon as I get my 10" panel in.
They come in 65W, 85W, & 100W models.
The bulbs are cheap but they only work with the ballast in the light.
I may go straight for the 100w or I may go for 2 65w or 2 85w just because the 100 watt bulb is HUGE.
About a foot.
If I go for 2 65w I'll price compare between ebay 7 the depot.
There are some small panel CFL projectors.
Tgreenwoods looked good.
If these don't work i'll just mount it on the side of my house so no loss.

)

The 65w unit is $43 at my HD
The 85w is $50 & the 100W is $60.
It looks like 2 65w units from ebay would give more light & still cost less than 100w. from HD.

what would the people of LumenLab say if i tried to make a projector with
the lamp in this thread
15" Dell E151FPb LCD (not the best specs)(until i can get a better one)(already have it)
Telescope Objective Lens (Focal Length about 200mm and 2" diameter)
Fresnel Lens (i need to know where to get them for REALLY cheap i don't care about the quality right now, if it works i will get better ones)

It would be very dim and the corners would probably be blurry.

From what I could gather, with CFL's you need enough bulbs to cover the entire LCD.
One just won't do it.
The glass portion of these bulbes are about 3" in diameter & about 6 inches long with a couple more inches for the base & thread.
The screen dimensions of my 9.6" lcd is 7.6" x 5.7".
Two of these should do the trick.
My buddy has one of these on his house & these suckers are bright.
but, we shall see hopefull in a few weeks.
