ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers
Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions.
*****************************************************************************

Overhead projectors are wonderful for short demonstrations, but problematic
for sustained exhibits.  Most use very inefficient incandescent sources,
with lots of heat and short bulb lives (50-100 hours).  I've seen a few
more efficient models with 750-hour metal halide bulbs, but they're
extremely bright rather than low energy.

I'd be very interested to hear if anyone knows of overhead projectors with
efficient, long-lived bulbs (comparable to modern data projectors), or has
found or developed a good, high efficiency retrofit.

Thanks,
Richard
