The Sanyo LP-XTC50 Long-Lasting Projector

Industrial hi def projectors are not cheap– and neither are their bulbs.  What’s more, if your projector is mounted out of reach, changing a bulb can be nothing short of a pain in the ass.  The newly revealed Sanyo LP-XTC50 features two operation modes that save your lamp from wear and tear.  First, “alternating mode” allows the switching between two projectors when the lamp has taken its peak amount of heat.  In “relay mode”, one lamp is used until it burns out and then another bulb replaces it.  Like we said, this one isn’t cheap– its expected to arrive in early January for just over $10k.
