There is one theatre and one coffee house here in Austin that frequently screen Super 8 films with projectors that apparently aren't made to project over the distance of an average livingroom, resulting in very dark images on the screens. I know that one of them is an Elmo ST800. I think a couple of Elmo GS1200 models use the Xenon 250 watt lamps, and they are pretty expensive. So, my questions are; 1) Can a Xenon 250 watt lamp be used in any of the Elmo 'ST' model projectors? 2) If so, which ones? 3) If so, what, if any, modifications are necessary to be made to the projectors to be able to use this lamp safely and effectively? 4) If not, which lamp would be the brightest (best) to use in the Elmo 'ST' series projectors if, in fact, a lamp other than the original stock lamp can be substituted? 5) Ok, failing all the above brilliant Wylie E. Coyote ideas, what, if any exists, is an inexpensive solution to this microcinematic dilemma?
