I need to change to digital projection, I occasionally give talks to garden
clubs and have a slide projector but have found it increasingly difficult
to get hold of the slide film so last year bought a DSLR camera, very
pleased with the pictures but at present I can't use them!

So as I am not Alan Titchmarsh and don't charge a huge amount to give
talks I was looking at something like the Epson EB S02H which seems to
retail at around the 240-250 mark but the spare bulbs are 140 ish and I
wouldn't be happy not having a spare. (Why are the bulbs so much more for
these projectors compared with slide ones?)

While looking at all that I noticed a LED-33 projector for just 130 which
claims 25000 hours bulb life?

My question is, does anyone here use the cheaper LED projectors and is the
picture quality OK? (ie does it compare with an old fashioned slide
projector)

I suppose I normally project onto a 5' square screen and can chose the
distance, normally evenings so I don't need to project in bright light

Unfortunately digeital projectors are quite expensive, so are the
replacement bulbs.

I bit the bullet and bought an "InFocus" projector. I think in hindsite, I
didn't need the quality model I bought. It has given good service over the
last 5 or 6 years.

Google InFocus and see what model suite you needs.

The chairman of our gardening club approached PC World and bought a
projector (InFocus), stand and screen as a "small business" arrangement and
saved quite bit.
