How often do you loose power?
Not too often here, and how bad is it really to cut off power to the fans? Once or twice should be no big deal. I'm not saying it's a bad idea but is it worth it for a battery back up? Also consider that bulbs today last much longer and cost less then a few years ago.
Another thing to check out, when my source shuts off, the picture goes black. Does the bulb go to low power mode or is it just the lcd panel that goes dark and the bulb is always on full power. I just don't know the technicals on this
