About Projection Lights Lamps BulbsTubes Valves

Thanks for Stopping By Cyndee$Attic  : )

 I hope you Find This *Guide a bit Helpful I have done quite a bit of research but

I AM NOT an EXPERT.....

the Manufacturer of Your Equipment is the PRO please refer to all original supplied manuals

How you handle your Lamp/Bulb & Equipment

 directly relates to the proper operation & Life of the lamp

The Lamps you Purchase from my Store  Cyndee$Attic 

Are all Cleaned & Electronically Tested

  (Except MR, ARC & GAP Filament Mini Sub-miniature Lights)

before being Carefully re-packaged  shipped to you

• Before installing the bulb, Visually check inspect bulb for damage. DO NOT INSTALL IT IF THERE is ANY TRANSPORT DAMAGE

• ~~~~IF you go ahead and USE IT  a carrier claim can NOT be submitted this is the chance you chose to take

•    ( I do not accept USED lamps on Return)

• Carrier Damage may result no matter how perfect a packaging job!

•  DO NOT TOUCH EVER GLASS with bare fingers.

This accounts for 95% of Bulb Failures

 use a soft cloth paper towel

(or wear cotton gloves) (Yeah right I'll bet you will go out and buy a pair)

Avoid turning Lamp on & off splice smaller reels on to  large reels

• DO NOT Bump the projector  this can cause instant failure
• purchase a DIMMER for slow start this will extend the lamp life tremendously
• If you have inadvertantly touched the Glass,

        take the time to carefully clean it with a Good Glass Cleaner or Alcohol on a soft Cloth

•  Handle lamp with clean dry towel (or cotton glove). I mention this but most people do not put on gloves

•  Also, make sure bulb is warmed up /or cooled down to room temperature before installing.

•  Be Sure The Power is OFF on your Equipment

• neat trick =use a switch dimmer installed in line for slow start (as stated above)

•  Be sure the fan is operating properly and your projector is free from DUST

•  When used , bulb may shatter or explode if very cold, or if it contains fingerprint oils or moisture.

• The bulb also may develop a HOT SPOT or bubble  where you may have touched it

• This is especially a concern for Halogen and high wattage/temperature bulbs.

•  Be sure and use the correct manufacturer's replacement lamp per your Equipment guide

• I will be glad to assist in finding YOUR application

• (I do not beleive in Substitutions that's like putting Vegatable oil in your engine's crankcase)

• If you find a lamp that looks  like your lamp it's a good start to locating the right lamp

•  Email thru Ebay with whatever info you have & I WILL  Find YOUR CORRECT LAMP

• (providing your equipment has NOT been modified) 

• NEVER Just Go by the Photo there are too many Variables... when in Doubt ASK..  it's FREE!

•  NOS lamps have no determined life expectancy!

           No one can predict the Life expectancy of a lamp   Not Even the manufacturer

                   so have a spare on hand so there is no disappointment

• Voltage plays a major roll in the life of a lamp.. power surges

•  turning the lamp on & off all shorten a Lamps life

• IMPACT : do not hit the projector  or the lamp.....  absolutely Don't Drop it

          it's already been dropped a dozen times by the carrier before you received it

•  Force can damage the alignment of the lamp causing it to not function properly or damage the filament

• I do not illuminate any Projection Lamps ...as it causes carbon to the filament,

                    they become brittle and they do not transport well

• I Carry many Brands of Lamps SYLVANIA  & GE (MAZDA &Westinghouse Division) Lamps are Usually available for more $

                    I also have Ushio,Wiko, Eiko, Radiant, Riluma  these are normally less expensive

• My prices are as best to market as I can get  ..  as my supply diminishes the price increases

• Overstocks are priced accordingly if i have 200 Sylvania DAY lamps you will see them priced to go...

If you have any questions Please Contact me using the EBAY LINK ask seller a question
