I was curious to see if anyone had ever tried this. I have been using two 40 watt tubes and four 40 watt black light tubes 24/7. my brother keeps riding me saying that i need more light in order to bud. I was thinking more light would be nice too...

Then i thought about how i have a 4000 lumens Dukane Overhead Projector. At first i thought i would strip it ...then i got to thinking about how nice it would be to keep it together and maybe just sit it on an angle somehow inorder to project the light on to the plants.

by projecting on the plants i would be insuring the light stays cool in the unit the way it was suppose to. also by projection off the top mirror i bet i wont have hardly any heat on the plant. It is in a closet so it will be close to the plant.

Downfall number one is.... i beleive the life of these bulbs (410 FXL) is 2000hrs at best.
