So our boys' projector lost the bulb last weekend.
Its just a cheap thing that hooks to the (cheap) DVD player to play movies on the ceiling for kicks.
It uses a simple MR16 12v50w bulb for illumination - and a fairly serious fan to keep the thing cool. Its a few years old by now, and was surely built before the same style/rating bulb was available in LED.
What actually burns out the bulb is unplugging it instead of turning it off. It needs to cool down on its own before killing the power. Can't be mad, their friend didn't know and he was the last one awake, so he was being responsible and unplugged it.
Will the projector actually still work if I substitute a LED bulb?
Here is the LED bulb http://www.amazon.com/MR16-4W-Equiva...ords=MR16+BULB
And here is the Halogen http://www.amazon.com/Plusrite-3247-...ords=MR16+BULB
