Hello, this is a little off the topic of home improvement, however I have a LCD digital projector, the bulbs are $400!!!!! So after doing some research I found airfield bulbs for the landing runway. There perfect, 1200 ANSI lumen s and rated at 1,000 Hrs. for $12.00. Also they don't require air cooling, which the projector has, so they might even last a little longer.
Anyways my problem is that the projector normally runs a 24v 150 watt bulb, without it the projector will not turn on. So I have to figure out a way to "trick" the thing in to thinking its fully operational.
I have experience with a wide range of electronics, soldering etc. I do not have the knowledge to disable the electronics to enable the projector, so I think my only option is to add a very large resistor, or perhaps a bunch of smaller ones on a breadboard in series. The bulb is a two pronged halogen, I don't know if it has a ballast, or if that would be a problem.
What do you think? Any suggestions are welcomed.
