Can I upgrade the light bulb?
I was wondering it is possible to upgrade the lightbulb to have a brighter picture.
Is this a good question?

That is unlikely. A brighter bulb would likely reduce contrast and saturation in picture quality, because the LCD was not designed for a brighter bulb. It is also unlikely that you could find a brighter bulb that would have the correct physical and digital properties.
However, if you have used the projector a lot, the bulb could be failing. If it is approaching the end of its life replacing it may produce a brighter image. Use the guides on this page to dismantle it.
Hope this helps!

I might add hagen projector lamps are quite hot so if you find a suitable brighter bulb you risk overheating the projector as it was not designed for the added heat.
