I've just had to replace the bulb in my Sony 10HT projector. It only lasted just over 1000 hours ("cinema black" perm. on) whereas I'd have hoped to get closer to 2,000.

I'm pretty sure the bulb life was reduced considerably by a couple of powercuts so I'm looking for a UPS.

I think my requirements are pretty basic (no USB connection etc.), so I'm hoping it shouldn't cost too much. I want it to guarantee me at least 3 minutes at 300W so I've got time to switch the projector off (standby) & allow the fan to run for its usual 2 minutes cooldown period. It will be in the loft, but I'd still like it to be pretty quiet when powered.

Can anyone recommend me one? If not, could anyone tell me how many VA it would need to be?

Thanks in advance.

That's very helpful. I'll have a good search in that forum.

Cheers!
