Class 2 Projectors
Does anyone know if any manufacturers still sell class 2 projectors (2 pin power, no earth)? We have a few rooms with interesting electrical installations where putting in a new class 1 projector would involve a fair amount of extra work. The ones we had previously were Epson X3 projectors.

Yes the only issue with electrical work it that goes outside my remit so suddenly makes a simple job take a lot longer.

Yup - but you are going to struggle to find a class 2 projector and even then its likely to cost a bit more. Therefore getting the sparky in to replace the wiring is easier.
I know how you feel I would love to be able to change that kind of stuff (plug sockets etc are not hard to change!!) but instead you have to pay a spark!
