Hey I figured why not share these with the rest of you guys. Take a look at the housing all taken apart, pretty damn cool I think, that lense is badass, lol.

enjoy

 

is that lens glass or plastic? kinda looks like plastic...

looks like something from star trek heh...i think it looks sweet

 

cool ;-)

thanks blacktibs

 

schweet

 

Can anybody guess why chris took the projectors apart??????

:roll:

 

Lense is a standard Episoldial design... prone to cracking if it gets too hot due to the difference between overall volume to surface area... but I would not worry about that unless you are running 1k watt lamps

 

take a closer look at the 3rd and fourth pics and guess again..........

think efficiency.........

 

oh, I know what you are saying... it is not a flat back, but a concave design.. still a rather heavy lense though

 

OK, OK, I'LL TELL MY SECRET...........

It has nothing at all to do w/ the lense........ the inside of the housing........ one chrome reflector...pretty obvious...... but the other part (this would be the part thats AROUND THE BULB) is painted a dull gray....... go look at your projectors (during the day) they look dark don't they????? thats the paint on the inside.

chris is going to paint the inside of my KDM projecotr housing either w/ duplicast metal coat (silver) or a high temp white paint. I figure that alot of usable light isn't getting used b/c of this.

think about this :

whats going to actually reflect more light, gunmetal OR white or silver?????????

Now do you see why i said think efficiency????

 

You might get some scattering going on too.. light where you don't want it
