Don't worry about it, it probably doesn't have to be that accurate, 330R (probably even higher) will probably do.

Those resistors you've selected don't have a high enough power rating, they'll blow.

It might not be possible anyway, when the bulb is off it will have a very low resistance, probably just a few Ohms, and it might look for a very low resistance before turning the lamp on, it's worth giving it a go though.

How are you powering the LEDs?

You'll need a bridge rectifier or diode in reverse paralle to protect them from the reverse mains voltage.

There are just too many problems with this crazy idea

First, they aren't conventional lamps.

Two, they don't check for simple power consumption.

Three, they run off VERY high voltages, in the thousands.

Four, LED's aren't that bright (by a LONG, LONG way)

Five, LED's aren't that white either.

That depends on what you mean by conventional, som projectors have halogen lamps.

That's only if it's an HID lamp.

A couple of 20W power LEDs will give a similar amount of light to a 165W halogen lamp.

Halogen bulbs don't cost $250+, HID lamps do.
Nobody makes a big screen bright projection TV that uses LEDs.

Never seen one with halogen, apart from antique film projectors

Every one I've seen has been.

I seriously doubt it, and if it was a viable option it would have been done commercially by now - and be HUGE selling point.

If you have a projector, budget to replace the lamp yearly.

He didn't say it was a big screen projection TV.

I've seen plenty of small projectors that use halogen lamps.

40W of LED power is pretty close to 160W of halogen power.

Luminous efficacy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I suspect the reason why LEDs aren't used for projectors has more to do with colour rendering than efficiency.

Here's a 250W replacement halogen projector lamp.
BHB BULB 250W 120V HALOGEN PROJECTOR LAMP

Actually the HID type lamps just use a high voltage pulse to get them going. The actual running power of a Metal halide bulb in that wattage range is around 60 -80 volts at around 2 - 3 amps.
Your $250 bulb is the same one used by normal commercial lamps that you by for around $20 each. Being projectors use a white light its most likely a metal halide or an over driven mercury vapor bulb.

Find yourself a standard issue HID bulb of the same over near same wattage. Any rated for 140 - 180 watts are close enough. They are not as fussy about wattage as most people think! A cheap 165 watt metal halide ballast can run +- 20 watts of what its rated at and you would never notice.
I have three 175 watt mercury vapor bulbs running off of 250 watt ballasts in my shop and they are identical to my 200 watt metal halides for color and brightness. And they have over 1500 running hours on them and have yet to even have the inner arc tube start to blacken!

Take the New standard type bulb and bust the outer glass off of it and take out the inner arc tube. retrofit that into the projector. Make sure you wash the arc tube with alcohol after you assemble it. If you dont it will burn out rather quickly.

It's for a FILM projector, not an electronic projector

Did you look at the links posted by the original poster?
Toshiba Projectors: Toshiba TDP-S20U DLP projector

It looks more like an electronic projector than a film projector to me.

It probably uses a halogen lamp and it's probably 12V to 24V not mains.

EDIT:
I've just Googled for the TLPLV4 and couldn't find much information on it. It's probably some proprietary lamp.

Here's a picture, it could be halogen or HID, I don't know, I've never seen anything like it.

So why did you post a link to a film projector bulb?.

Yes, it's an electronic projector, and it absolutely 100% WILL NOT use a halogen bulb, and won't be low voltage.

So you've never seen a projector bulb, because that's what they look like - and they are never halogen, at least not any I've ever seen or heard of (and I've seen a fair few).

Electronic projectors bear no relation to film projectors, which appears to be all you've ever seen.
