Anyone still using a Superior 7kW air-cooled lamp in a horizontal position?
Over the past six months, two installed lamps were sent back for a pro-rated credit. First one with 484 hrs and the other with 509 hrs. A older "emergency spare" lamp had to be installed both times while we waited for a replacement to arrive. Projector's IREM rectifier has been replaced in January of 2013. The average lifespan of other Superior lamps has been 700 plus hrs.
