What lightbulb do I need?
I am trying to order a new light-bulb for my Merchsource Projector-Entertainment-II but I am not sure what kind of light-bulb I need to order. Does the wattage matter?
Is this a good question?

My bulb is about 3 years old but still works, I picked up a GE energy smart LED 7 watt mr16 accent light with the 2 thin pins from Walmart for about $20 it is rated at 500 lumens and runs cold. Projected life of 25000 hours. It works great!

walmart does not have this, out of stock, now where can you get a replacemnt bulb?
I just found a PDF version of the handbook for this machine. Manufacturer says to use a 55W 12V MR16 halogen bulb.
Thanks I got the older model and was thinking this might be a good opportunity to experiment with LEDs and projectors (again went through a lot of effort trial and error for an Infocus only to have the bulb market price drop out and pick one up for 20 bucks). Nice to know that you tried the generic store-bought options. Did you get a warm white or a cold white. Supposedly warm white would be better but some of the LEDs I've seen on the market tend to be a little too warm compared to their halogen counterparts past.
