Take with you a portable projector for tons of evening fun! Here are a few things you can do if you have a projector and screen set up at your campsite.
 

  • Movie Night – Enjoy an array of entertaining movies after the sun goes down. For easy viewing, you’ll want to make sure your projector offers lots of light (that is over 2000 lumens) and HD capability for better imaging and clear resolution.

 

  • Video Games – Have a video game contest. Play a variety of games outdoors with a projector and screen. To do this, your projector will need to have an HDMI connection for your video player.

 

  • Photographs – Go through the family album on the big screen. What fun it will be to view photos of your closest friends and relatives on a large screen! To ensure crisp images with vivid color, choose a projector with a contrast ratio of 10,000:1.

Top 5 Projectors for the Classroom

Technology can play an important role in learning and education. Along with the classroom, projectors can be used for school assemblies, social clubs and sports training.

Projectors are especially important when it comes to higher education and are an excellent resource for teachers looking for ways to get students more involved in learning.
 
In the classroom, teachers can use projectors to:
 

  • Present lessons or lectures using support materials from your computer.

 

  • Share pictures or videos.

 

  • Display websites so that the entire class can see.

 

  • Show movies that are on DVD.

 

  • Read books.

 

  • Video chat.

 

  • Show test questions from the computer screen.

 
Some features to look for in a classroom projector include:
 
A short throw lens – Why is this important? In classroom set-ups, the projector screen is often far up near the front. A short throw lens will show images and pictures from both a large and clearer perspective.
 
Mountable – If you are not sharing your projector or using it in other classrooms, it can be convenient to mount the projector on the ceiling
 
LCD Technology – Some will recommend DLP technology, however LCD is better for the variety of functions the projector will serve in the classroom.
 
Easy to set up and use.
 
HD capabilities.
 
HDMI connectivity – for interaction with DVD players and computers.
 
 
Our “Top 5” projectors offer all of these features and even more. They include:
 

  • The BrightLink 595Wi (interactive)

When Is It Time to Replace Your Projector Lamp?

Most projector lamps will last an average of 2,000 hours. If you don’t have a menu that tells you how many hours your lamp has been used, you likely will have no idea of how much life is left on your lamp? Obviously you’ll need to replace your projector lamp when it stops working. But the reality is, your lamp will show signs of aging well before it goes dead.

It can also be risky to wait until your projector lamp simply stops working as it can potentially damage your projector system. However, you don’t want to change it too early either as that is a waste of money. So what do you do? Here are a few things to look for to help you know when it’s time to consider replacing your projector lamp.
 

  • Picture has become dull and lacks brightness.

 

  • There is an obvious decline in picture clarity and sharpness.

 

  • Your lamp is flickering.

 

  • There is difficulty or a delay when turning the machine on.

 

  • A light comes on that warns you that it may be time to change your lamp.
