Guide to Projector Lamps

Kinds of Projector Lamps include the following:

Halogen projector lamps

• Halogen projector lamps emit yellow light.
• They are used in older projector models.
• They are affordable.
• They produce minimal to no operating noise.
• They are available in 150 to 500 watts.
• They have a very short lamp life.

Metal halide projector lamps

• Metal halide projector lamps emit clear, white light.
• They are uses in newer projector models.
• They can be used for up to 2,000 hours when used in standard projector mode and up to 3,000 hours in the economy mode.
  
• The more expensive metal halide projector lamps called UHP or ultra high performance lamps offer low wattage.

Compatibility: Make sure the projector lamp you purchase can be used with your projector model. An older projector usually requires an inexpensive halogen lamp, while a new one should be used with the more expensive metal halide lamp.

Lamp life: If you intend to use your projector for regular meetings, conferences, and lectures, choose one that uses a metal halide projector lamp that offers 3,000 hours of light when used in the economy mode. For occasional use only, choose a projector that uses a halogen lamp.

Use: Choose a metal halide projector lamp that produces a clear, white light for medical lighting, fiber optics, optical equipment, and cinema projectors. Choose a halogen projector lamp that produces softer yellow light for stage, audio visual, studio, and photography applications.
