<br>
I've seen some talk in committee minutes lately about replacing the<br>
projector lamp/bulb. I must protest! Everyone I've ever spoken to who runs<br>
a lot of projectors has told me it's not worth replacing lamps.<br>
<br>
If we buy a genuine lamp, it will only come with a 3 month warranty, and<br>
we can probably get a better new or second hand projector for the price.<br>
If we buy a non-genuine lamp, there's a pretty good chance we won't get<br>
much life out of it. Either way, we are at the mercy of all the other<br>
aging parts in the old projector - which does happen due to the heat given<br>
off by the lamp. Not to mention dust buildup and fans aging out.<br>
<br>
I vote we use the existing projector with the old bulb until it doesn't<br>
work anymore, at which time we can either look around for a new one or<br>
another donated one. I would also point out that, in my time with the<br>
club, UCC has never had to spend a cent on projectors.<br>
