Hmm, true, but flourecent light goes all over. Its very hard to get it to focus and then shoot through the lcd. Out of that 125watts of
Incadescent equivilant light, which is way less than 125watts of halogen or MH....you maybe actually using 1/10th of it. The rest is just bouncing all over the place. The prob. I had was it made it hard to focus the output image. Was kinda blurry no matter what I did. I think the CFL's they use are slightly dif. There are alot of dif. types of flourecents and some are specific in their nature/purpose. Also they are using a difuser (lines etched in plastic panel) then light polarising films. We arent using either cause it dimms the light source too much. Really if it was that easy the big co.'s would have long ago just used really powerfull CFL's and eliminated the heat problems of small projectors. Also bulb price would be way less, thus making projectors even more profit per sale. By all means, give it a go and let us know what you get....but I had no luck with FL's yet. Though you may. Its really a matter of getting the light to focus, instead of just blasting all over the place.
Good luck, Me.... I gave in and got MH.
