I want one of these. You got this from Steve right? It looks small enough so shipping shouldn't cost too much, and durable enough to make it here to Florida in one piece.
Actually this wasn't bright enough so my mom made me hook the fluorescents back up lol. The fluorescents total around 12000 lumens but the 300W incandescent is around 5000 lumens and runs HOT!
Yeah the 300w incandescents run quite hot. I tested one in my Powerlite gumball and it heated up the room quite good. It also cooked the insulation within 1" of the socket.
Yeah you gotta use a socket with that fiberglass insulation on the leads with a lamp that hot lol. Though I'm surprised it got that hot with the heat deflector. Most of the heat from this thing was directed downward and some absorbed by the reflector but the head stayed pretty cool.
