generally don't go bad, or get replaced as often as bulbs do. On a 2k, 3k or 4k watt Christie bulb ($500-$700), the wattages that most medium sized (300-400 seats) auditoriums use, I could get between 2500 and 3000 hours out of my 2ks and 3ks. My guy was pretty good at rotating them often to milk more hours, but there's a test to measure the lumens on the screen itself. I don't know if this would be color temp., as in a TV, but that's how it's done. There needs to be a certain number of lumens at certain points on the screen.At Fashion Island 16, on the new side (8 screens out of 16) we got a bad bunch of reflectors that began to have their coating flake off in certain spots, but since we were going to close the theatre, we never did spend the cash to replace them over their last 12 months of service.
I'm proud of the fact that even though I was running theatres that had slowed down, were losing money, or were slated to be closed, my VPs would always tell me that my 'sight and sound' was pretty damn good. I probably could've made more in bonus money, but I preferred to spend the cash on the customer's enjoyment.
See ya at CES if you're going, Chris
