Is there any list out there of bulbs that a NEC 1200/2000 can use.
I cant seem to find it in any of the manuals.
I would like the list but specifically for now would like to know if an Osram XBO 2000W H XL OFR could be used.

Right now we are using Osram 2000W HS OFR bulbs.

This is for a worse case scenario situation.
Thanks

The 2000HS serries is the only one supported

The official "certified" lamp list is here:

The XBO 2000HPN and XBO1200HPN are listed.

As for cinema lamps...the .98" NEC projectors will accept most "HS" style lamps but remember, one will likely need to adjust the anode yolk for the lamp to be at the right height and to ensure that the support does not sit on a part of the lamp that is not uniform. I've seen many installations where one has placed a chamfer in the lamp's stem in the anode support so that focusing the lamp also raises/lowers the front of the lamp.

Note, too...if you use a non-certified lamp, you will need to input the particulars of that lamp's operating parameters.

It's yoke, not yolk as in egg on your face.

And yet I called it a support every other time.
