Hey skizott I thought I'd give a followup on my projectors. I am still using the same pair of 35w bulbs boosted. I've bumped it up from 50-55watt to 62-65 watt without any problems to the projector bowls. I'd say I've been boosted for nearly a year now without any damage to my projectors or bulbs. However when it gets summer time again I may drop it back down to 50-55w to avoid possible heat damage.
Hey Justin. I know you say you haven't noticed any problems, but have you actually taken the projectors out and inspected the bowls? I'm not saying that you're fibbing by any means :lol:, but the chrome could be starting to bubble without any noticeable effect on the output. Once it's started to bubble though, peeling is next, and then it's too late. I'm just super paranoid when it comes to a pair of $300 projectors. But, I really want to throw those ballasts and bulbs in there!
Edit: By the way, which ballasts were you using again? Do you have a pot hooked up to them to increase/decrease the wattage?
