PROJECTOR LAMPS

I have never been able to remember lamp numbers and have often had problems, when faced with a box of lamps or an ebay auction, knowing what the lamp is and what it's for. Typically, of course, projector manufacturers liked to use all sorts of different types, as with lenses, to make us buy more. It's all a bit academic now, but just for interest here is a consolidated table of info I have on lamps. I hope to move on to which projector needs which lamp.

Click Here lampdata.wdb for the table.

Some have said they cannot get at the data in this form, so I have scanned the table in as pictures. Hopefully this can be magnified and read or printed out.

             

Here are some pix of lamp bases. For some reason the best image seems to need some Zoom.      
Now some lamps.       

 

Pathé published a useful summary for some of their machines. The Type 38 is an "H", I assume the B is a 200B.

Here is some info I have on what projector takes what lamp.
