With it's high wattage and great versatility, this is one of the most popular
lamps on the market today used in all
sorts of equipment. When looking for projection equipment lighting, it makes
sense to find the exact bulb you need, to fill your existing sockets. The FNT projector lamps
have been a favorite of engineers for many types of projection lighting
applications. Although the needs of computer based presentation has
increased recently, there are still many applications of overhead projectors in
use everyday. The need for manual editing of presentation materials makes it a popular
option for years to come. There are a wide variety projectors which use
the FNT lamp, and they all have the same exact function. The main purpose for a bulb like this is the light it puts on a
screen, how well it fills out the screen space. The brightness, as most
people call it, needs to be enough to gain good contrasts of objects, writing or
overhead transparencies. It's critical when you need everyone in the room
to see what you're trying to communicate.
All of the FNT projector lamps regardless of the brand, have the same shape
and base pins.
It is a simple capsule bulb which has two pin connectors, and that's one of the
reason it's been a favorite, it's basic design. The FNT projector
lamps are 275 watts and 24 volt.
In either case, they are the same bulb providing proper illumination for the
equipment you have. The color temperature is 3000K, so it has a more
yellow color appearance than some other types that many people use such as the
FCS lamp. Something to keep in mind about these lamps is that they have a
high light output, that usually means they have a much shorter life. The
life is shorter, about 75 hours, so
it's good to turn off the lamp when it's not being used. Another thing to remember is when replacing these is that they are
identified by a 3 letter code on the bulb itself. You'll see it somewhere
on the base of the bulb on the glass itself. Sometimes you'll see the code as
FNT as described here or like any other projector lamp like the ENX, DYS, EVD, ELH
or something similar to that, you get the idea. The ANSI 3 letter code
identifies that bulb as to the shape, wattage, voltage and any other standard
information. Unlike other types of bulbs, these have some standards across
various manufacturers, the only thing that varies is quality. We carry the
GE brands which we have found to be a tested, quality light over
time. Another caution is that these bulbs should not be touched with your
skin. The skin oils can react with the glass and there can be some reactions
which will shorten the lamp life. If they are touched, you might see a bubbling
of the glass over time, but it's not instantaneous. If you do touch it, simply
wipe it thoroughly with a soft cloth.

or other type of viewer they operate in. Whatever type of projection lamp you have, you
