I was going to post this a few days ago, but I kept forgetting to take a picture.

One of my projectionists pointed out that the picture was almost completely dark in one of the auditoriums, and asked if I would come take a look at the lamp.

I took a peek into the lamphouse thinking we were back to the same issue we had several months earlier, and to my surprise, I saw a planet forming!

I killed the rectifier and let the lamp cool down, opened the door, and this is what I saw:

Xenon - Complete Lamp

And upon closer inspection after replacing the lamp, here’s what I was left with:

Xenon - Envelope Close-Up

Now, a new xenon looks like this:

Xenon - New

So, as you can see, the lamp decided that it wanted to be swirled black and blue with white clouds. It was the coolest thing I’ve ever seen a Xenon do. I mean, aside from exploding and killing people in the face.
