After go over my 1st idea, think i might have gotten a better idea. (See enclosed picture). After reading some treads, I really want to consider using LOA lights. My new idea is to use a projector panel with a Delta IV lens. My idea is to bounce the LOA off of a mirror, that way by changing the size and angle of the mirror I can start with 1 LOA and if it works well add two more. This is a plain for the summer, so it can change, especially since I have not heard much about LOA results. Anyway, any comments on my rough draft of a new plain?

okay, i just realised that you can't use a deltaIv with a 10.4 inch screen. Anyone know if there are any good lens to do this job?
I think it will give you "wild" light, unevenly lighted LCD image due to the widely variable distance from LOA1 to the mirror and LOA2/3 to the mirror. If it works out it sure would be a "cool" box compared to the 400 watt heater I'm planing on 😉

I'm just starting to get a grip on the optics and lighting end of my project, it's not my strong suit for sure 🙁 But what the heck..I'm learning. My question was only based on gut reaction (not allways a good source of info) when you come up with results please let us know 🙂

OK
i think you are closer to the best solution than you think.
your drawing has ofcourse a flaw ...... the ligh beam you drew does not go straight but in all directions when we talk about LOA's. but it is not a disadvantage.
However, and i think that was also my AND ZARK's success ofcourse, it is the abundance of light (3x6850 lumes in your case) that will correct a lot. you can compare it with the starting years of Windows . the enormous amount of memory this program needed compared to other commercial available software made it better, no matter what you though of it. At first glance it looks like the developper os Microsoft were only good as PowerUsers, but at the end they made it.
Same for loa's: they produce so much power=Lumens that, whatever you do, a clear picture will be projected.

LOA lights
I want to give those a try, but need a place i can get them online.
Anyone knows where i can get them?
I am in germany and know they're 110V , i will use a transformer.

Correct me if I'm wrong please, but wouldn't you get better lighting if your mirror was at a 45 degree angle?
