This is for those LCD projectors that you plug into laptops so you can display fancy stuff on walls.
They say to leave it on for 90 seconds with the fan on & bulb off so it can cool down. I've pretty much never seen anyone with patience to do that.
The cases are insulated foam, with no air flow.
Of course the bulbs will overheat in there.
Make the cases have perforations/mesh areas where it can breathe. The projector itself could rest in a bungee mesh instead of foam. A little airflow in the case would be enough to save the bulbs.

i've never actually heard this about those
projectors. the problem is that those bulbs
can cost as much as 400 bucks per shot.
it's freakin ridiculus, but i bet that
companies would be more willing to rectify
this problem if they couldn't make so
much off of the bulbs. |

They are made out of the foam so you don't burn yourself with them. |

The bulb is inside, [Galbinus_Caeli], so there's no burning your hands here at all. Not sure what hazard you speak of. |
