>From Ace Acer,
<<As in my reply to Charles--I don't give a whit if you transfer oil from
your finger onto blown lamps; I had that parenthetical addition to put
stress on /always/ handling halogen lamps with care. If you have the
habit, you'll either use a towel or you won't. >>
Oh I have the habit all right.
After 30 years with process cameras.
(actually I started with carbon arcs, Yeck)
<<As for the fan only switch, I believe it's there for use WHEN the lamp
blows DURING a show; it would take too long to cool if left off, and you
obvisously don't want to cancel your show. So you set it to fanonly, cool
the lamp rapidly, change it, and go on with the show.
This is what I've saying all along.>>
I am getting the idea that this and moving the
projector before it would have time to cool down by itself are the
reasons for the fan only setting.
As Spocks brother said "Live long and learn".
