Here are Steves photos showing the placement of the LED light in his Sankyo 1000 projector. There are several other projectors that use the "spaceman" bulb...such as the Keystone 2500, Chinon 2500GL, Chinon Whisper 727, Bell & Howell 10MS, and the Bell & Howell 20XS.

If you have the Windows "Paint" program on your PC, open the photo in it. Go to Resize" and click on "Pixels". For width, type in 545. Save your picture. The pixel width limit for Forum posts is 550 so you should be good to go.

Thanks, Barry, will try that next time .... Janice did a workaround for one of the shots I was trying to post.

Further regarding it ... as can be seen, the headlamp just sits in the space where the original lamp would have gone. It could be further stabilized by sitting it in something like a "blu-tac" seat at the base if it was necessary. However, up to now I have not seen much vibration with my projector when it is turned on so the headlamp assembly sits fairly stable.

Advantages are that you don't have to feel the bulb is going to blow out any second (something which I found happened with the replacement lamp I got recently) and the much reduced heat problem. It also requires not external power supply.

Interesting post, Steve. Jetbeam have a website in the UK but don't seem to list the HR25 so I've emailed them. There's one on e-Bay for £35.99 (about $51). However, the Jetbeam UK website warns that they've found examples of counterfeit Jetbeam products so take care folks.

Will,
For information .... I picked up the Jetbeam from this online store in the US http://www.andrew-amanda.com/ Even with shipping to Australia it was less than $70.00 USD. In new packaging, etc. The unit seems the real thing, certainly appears well built (has a good solid feel to it, which is partly why it appears to sit quite well (solidly) in the projector unit.

The company also responds quickly to email queries.

Steve, you bought from a reputable source so there should be no problems for you. I was just pointing out, that, if an asking price seems too good to be true then it probably isn't!

Looking at the Jetbeam UK site, the last update was 4 years ago and so I don't think I'll get a reply to my email! Does the LED work when the battery is being charged?

Yes, it does work when it is charging. I am not sure about the UK site .... the folks at "Andrew and Amada.com" (noted above) reply promptly to queries however.

That's good to know. I think that the UK website must be defunct. I have 5 projectors using the same lamp and I have a spare as well so I'm ok for the moment! Thanks, Steve.

Oops .... clarification ..... the JetBeam HR25 does NOT operate while it is charging .... I seemed to remember that it did when asked that question. However, I just tried it now and it doesn't. Which is fine for what I am using the headlamp for (short films). Hope this clarifies .....

Just an update .... have now used the Jetbeam LED headlamp in transferring several hours of 8 mm film to digital video tape in preparation of copying that over to my hard drive.

The lamp works really well and the result is quite acceptable.
