Hi Eric

We have total of 14 LCD projectors with different brands/models.  They are

Sanyo, PLC-XU38, 2000 Lumens
Panasonic, PT-L6500EL, 3600 Lumens
EIKI, LC-X1100, 4100 Lumens
NEC, VT45, 1000 Lumens
Mitsubishi, X500U, 3700 Lumens
Fujitsu, LPF-4800, 1500 Lumens
EIKI, LC-X986, 3300 Lumens

Except the Panasonic with dual lamps, all others have one lamp only.
Please note that the running cost of lamp is directly proportional to
brightness and life span of the lamp bulb.  Some the low brightness lamp
bulb can give life span even to 5000 hours in economic mode.

Please let me know if you need other information.

Regards

CK WONG
Hong Kong Science Museum
