Author Topic: NEC NC20000C lamp house still looks new 7 years later Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 09-26-2018 12:30 AM                        I had to change several bulbs Tuesday night, and I couldn't help but marvel at how clean the lamp houses on our NEC NC2000C projectors have remained after 7 years. Aside from some minor tool scratches you would hardly know they are not new.  |  IP: Logged Justin Hamaker Film God Posts: 2253 From: Lakeport, CA USA Registered: Jan 2004 posted 09-26-2018 02:08 AM                         |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-26-2018 06:09 PM                     Yep! And the rest of the projector is also that clean! I put these projectors in some of the dustiest locations in the west and they all still look like that.

I have seen that get gunky even with regular filter changes.  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-27-2018 07:16 AM                     I pull the engine out and clean that area up when it gets gunky looking. That heat sink comes off and it's all pretty easy to clean. Also, using thin foam tape around the edges of the filters so they actually seal against the housing helps a lot.  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-27-2018 07:36 AM                        As Mark says, it's a simple math(s) calculation. How many amps (of 230VAC, given that this is in the UK) do you need it to be able to supply, and for how long?  |  IP: Logged Ioannis Syrogiannis Expert Film Handler Posts: 147 From: Reykjavík, Iceland Registered: Jun 2005 posted 09-27-2018 03:33 PM                     Leo, I think that your response was meant to be for the following thread: http://www.film-tech.com/ubb/f16/t003444.html  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 09-27-2018 09:37 PM                        Sorry, yes, it was.
