Overhead Projector : What is it?

OverheadProjectors1

An overhead projector is a device that projects images from transparencies. It consists of a light source, a reflective platform, and a focusable lens assembly designed to be used with transmissive OHPs.  It comes in the form of a box with a torch that shines light through the transparency.  It uses a magnifying glass to focus the image onto a screen.  

An overhead projector is an invaluable tool in classrooms. It is a simple and cost-effective teaching tool for presenting visual aids to students. It can also be used for creating dynamic business presentations.

Choosing Overhead Projectors (Buying Tips)

Lens: Choose a an overhead projector with a triplet lens for a sharper image. The triplet lens has the highest lens quality compared to a singlet and a doublet.  

Brightness: Choose an overhead projector with a high lumens rating for projecting bright and colorful images.

Lamp: 
Look for an overhead projector with a high/low switch for extending the life of your lamp. This switch allows you to control the brightness depending on the size and darkness of the room.  Also, look for one with a lamp changer that allows you to easily switch to another lamp in case of a lamp failure.
