How to determine what voltage 20-watt halogen bulb I should use in a modified projector?

 

I want to replace the lamp in a projector with a halogen bulb of a given
wattage. I realize the mounting is going to have to be customized, but as
far as the voltage, would I simply need to find one that's rated at the same
voltage as the original projector bulb?

All input appreciated.

That's certainly how I'd do it.

On the other hand, you could purchase two bulbs at half the rated
voltage and connect them in series. That might work too.

Nope

The colour temperature variation would be significant
