This really got my imagination running wild Barry.

I think the next logical step would be to modify the lenses on your projector
so that you can use it as a viewer.....looking down the barrel of a pair of
500Watt lamps coming at you I dare say you might feel something burning
;-)

Seriously though, the halogenised viewers are a must, although I only have
the 2.5V/0.8A lamp in mine.

The only down-side I notice with bright viewers, is that they make our
already dull projection systems look even duller.
