Like the ink-jet printer nonsense. Loads of nominally working video

Anyone done a conversion to high power LED emitter lamp? tips/pitfalls ?
Obviously a number of opto-coupler functions need fudging as well as
disconnecting the original lamp supply and HV ignitor sub-circuit
lamp supply input side optos , ignitor-on , lamp on, half/full brightness
output side optos , ignitor cct ok, lamp on (drawing correct current)
confirmation
Perhaps should only consider projectors that allow colour temperature
setting within the menu structures
any other considerations?
I just saw reference to this LED lamp cluster , anyone sen the spec of the
beam angle for it

But 1300 lumens is still a long way from a typical video projector. eg
the NEC NP64 is supposed to put 3000 lumens on the screen, that includes
all the optical losses along the way.
