Yes many of those map displays coming in with both lamps shattered, meaning you have to strip and clean out the glass from the entire optical path, and also clean the inner parts as well, as they used the same fan to provide cooling. Pilot comes back using his paper maps on his leg, or during the day follows the terrain. Thus the second lamp fails, either shattering or not, and blowing those fuses properly. Pilot has no map light, but still an upper display, so pulls the button to engage the spare lamp, without the recommended turn brightness to zero first, or turn map display off. Second one this then blew the lamp, and the 10A supply fuse for the lamp driver, around half the time. Landing on an aircraft carrier is one of the most difficult tasks a pilot has to execute.

The most advanced Flight Simulator and Aircraft Carrier Landing System ever created.
Download F18 Carrier Landing Lite and enjoy it on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch. First one just no display, or it sprung off enough to short out to the case, and blow the fuses. Read reviews, compare customer ratings, see screenshots, and learn more about F18 Carrier Landing Lite.

The common failure was that either the power transistor unsoldered itself from the leads, or it or the driver transistor went short circuit. However very common was failure of the lamp driver, seeing as it was right there wrapped around the lamp, and was poorly heat sinked, so ran ultra hot. The flight deck only has about 500 feet (about 150 meters) of runway space for landing planes, which isnt nearly enough for the heavy, high-speed jets F/A-18 Hornet. Landing on a flight deck is one of the most difficult things a navy pilot will ever do. Lamp failure was common, so there is a pull button that places the spare lamp in place of the main, another 150W lamp. F18 Carrier Landing is the most advanced mobile aircraft landing system. Lamp is a 12V 150W halogen lamp, to provide illumination, and the optical system loses around 80% of that light in the system, and thus you have 140W of heat, just from the lamp alone, to dissipate.
Rotation was done with a complex system of optics, that used prisms to rotate the image prior to the projection lens, so it would follow magnetic or true north. The film sat in a cassette and was fed from one reel to the other, with only a small section at a time being scanned, by moving the magazine in X and Y, in relation to the image gate. That moving map of Captain Nick in the Mirage III I am very familiar with, and one of the limitations is the film itself, which is generally going to stretch with age, so your displayed position might be quite a bit off from actual position, on the digital display on top.
