I posted this in the high end section but I thought I would see if you all had any thoughts.

Well it finally happened. Everyone was all settled in, I started the projector, I see the the image on the screen momentarily, then POP! The inevitable bulb failure and of course out of warranty :(. I figured I would open it up and see how difficult it would be to put a new lamp in. I opened the puppy up, Sim2 with no lamp door, and removed the lamp from the assembly. Now, about time, here is my question. I noticed on the bulb that there is a top designated. If my projector is ceiling mounted, up side down, should I then invert my new lamp when I install it in to the lamp housing? Therefore keeping the top on top. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you

No. Install the lamp as directed. The orientation is for proper light path aiming, not for how the projector is mounted.

Thank you Sheridan1952, that is what I was looking for.
