I'm here as a guest. I'm not building a projector but a few video HMI lights. I kindly ask for your collective wisdom and experience with various electronic ballasts.
What I've seen on line are LL, e-vision, hatch, coralvue, blueline, galaxy, ice.
The biggest concerns for me is flicker and noise, both difficult to figure out without actually trying the ballast.
I'm looking at 150W, 250W, 400W, 600W and 1000W (I would love to look at 575W and 1200W but there seems to be nothing out there for reasonable prices)
Any experience you can share I'll appreciate ( "I have X and it is noisy", "I have Y and it is dead quiet")
Thanks,
capitan

I have a 575w ballast that came out of an overhead projector. I don't think it hums or flickers at all.
I have one I would be willing to sell. It's in good shape, but I have not personally tested it. In it's current untested (but I think very likely to work) state I'd sell it for $75 + shipping.
The one I would sell is the same model ballast that I'm using in my projector. If you're interested send me a PM.

I am interested but your box is full ;-)

I see that you are powering an OSRAM bulb with the Sfc10-4 base. How do you mount it? are those bases you use home made?
