I was wondering if a ikea spoon will work?. Im building a psone projector,I have bought this ballast and lens
I know that the ballast is a little over kill ,but I plan on upgrading to a 15 or 17in panel. Im sure im going to need UV and heat protection. I need a place that is local like Homedepot or Lowes.I already have 5 12mm case fans and I plan on using page fresnels.
