About Projection Lights Lamps Bulbs

 

 

Thanks for Stopping By Cyndee$Attic  : )

 I hope you Find This *Guide Helpful I have done quite a bit of research but I AM NOT an EXPERT

the Manufacturer of Your Equipment is the PRO

 Here are some factors that could result in short life of a lamp..

How you handle your Lamp/Bulb & Equipment directly relates to the proper operation & Life of the lamp

The Lamps you Purchase from my Store  Cyndee$Attic 

Are all Cleaned & Electronically Tested (Except ARC & GAP Filament Mini Submini Lights)

before being Professionally/Carefully packaged  shipped Extremely Fast Directly to you

  • Before installing bulb, Visually check inspect bulb for damage. 

  • Carrier Damage may result no matter how perfect a packaging job!

  • ~~When in doubt INSURE  it

  •  DO NOT TOUCH EVER GLASS with bare fingers. This accounts for 95% of Bulb Failures use a soft cloth paper towel (or wear cotton gloves)

  • If you have inadvertantly touched the Glass,  take the time to carefully clean it with a Good Glass Cleaner or Alcohol on a soft Cloth

  •  Handle lamp with clean dry towel (or cotton glove). I mention this but most people do not put on gloves

  •  Also, make sure bulb is warmed up /or cooled down to room temperature before installing.

  •  Be Sure The Power is OFF on your Equipment

  •  Be sure the fan is operating properly and your projector is free from dust.

  • When used , bulb may shatter or explode if very cold, or if it contains fingerprint oils or moisture.

  • The bulb also may develop a HOT SPOT or bubble  where you may have touched it

  • This is especially a concern for Halogen and high wattage/temperature bulbs.

  •  Be sure and use the correct manufacturer's replacement lamp per your Equipment guide I will be glad to assist in finding YOUR application

  • (I do not beleive in Substitutions that's like putting Vegatable oil in your engine's crankcase)

  • If you find a lamp that looks  like your lamp it's a good start to locating the right lamp

  •  Email thru Ebay with whatever info you have & we WILL  Find YOUR CORRECT LAMP

  • NEVER Just Go by the Photo there are too many Variables... when in Doubt ASK..  it's FREE!

  •  NOS lamps have no determined life expectancy!  No one can predict the Life expectancy of a lamp Not Even the manufacturer

  • Voltage plays a major roll in the life of a lamp.. power surges turning the lamp on & off all shorten a Lamps life

  • IMPACT : do not hit the projector  or the lamp.  Force can damage the alignment of the lamp causing it to not function properly or damage the filament

  • I do not illuminate any Projection Lamps as it causes carbon to the filament they become brittle and they do not transport well

  • We Carry many Brands of Lamps SYLVANIA Lamps are Usually available for more $

If you have any questions Please Contact me using the EBAY LINK ask seller a question

We would be Glad to assist in Finding the Correct Lamp for your Needs be it :
