Just some updates for everyone. Multiple people are now running over 250 lumens, including myself at 271 ANSI. AV at LL is now at 342 lumens, and that is with a 400w. He is working on a 1200w system as we speak. As I posted a while back, 500 lumens is what most high end projectors go at while watching normally. I am able to get to 500+ lux with my 8.4" lilliput setup, using a condensor and some extra caps on the ballast. Also some other notibles. There have been some tests on projectors (believe a proxima) claiming 1100 lumens, and they came up less than 200. So all in all, definitely we are on paths to increasing the light output. We already have the sharpness. Just thought I would give a heads up.
Hey Pepe: This cheers for you!

Some results from the Proxima.
Screen 37" x 49" - unknown gain - commercial unit
Minimal keystoning. Projector basically perpendicular to screen.
Roughly 9 foot throw - not measured.
pgen white-screen lux readings:
79 60 40
77 61 44
69 55 44

AV now has passed the 500 lumen mark. It is 515 lumens with a 5% lcd. Not bad at all. With a higher transmissive LCD, he would be closer to 800-1000 lumens.
