ok that explains a lot and yes I can see why it is a good deal I was just wondering if it was something I should be watching out for when spending full price on a new unit from the company. however it seems to be more of a "I did not read the manual so I messed up your projector that was not mine in the first place so I did not care anyway" mistake made by some one. I have read my manual and it was pretty emphatic about letting the fan run until it was off before unplugging it or anything so I never do infact I leave it plugged in a bit more too so now I have, significantly, more hours on my projector than the bulb has actually seen use of so I would not be surprised if the bulb lasts till nearly double the life span. I am still working on getting a set up to make LED replacements for projector bulbs too (LUXEON has a new one called the rebel that you can get up to 485 lumens from just one tiny board like used in the single LED flash lights and I know there is more than enough room for over 5 of these in the right configuration inside the existing bulb compartment of my infocus |

It's a design flaw, IMO. If it is that important the fan should run until it no longer needs to run regardless of if the plugged in or not. A simple rechargeable battery on the board could power the fan for quite a while without a problem. A plausible use case should not result in hardware failure. |

Why isn't there a rechargeable battery pack on board? Hell, a compartment for a 9V battery would suffice. |

Second best guess is that they didn't test use cases that would be precluded by reading the manual. |
