TDC 116 bulb life

[P3D Michael Kaplan <mkaplan@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

>I recently read an article by Bill Dugan
(sp?) who said that it's not a good idea to force-cool the lamps when they
are turned off... Their life is shortened, he says...

I use my 116 roughly 10 - 20 hours/year and the projection bulbs have 
lasted 10 years, so far. That's without installing the 3-way switch.

I'm still, however, trying to figure out where to oil the fan motor. It's 
always been stubborn about starting up.
