I was actually thinking of doing something like this, but I was unsure where I could find the best price per lumen on LEDs. What kind of deals have you guys gotten?
Also, how do you have your LEDs positioned? it would seem to me like they would tend to produce a bunch of 'hot spots' all over the place.

alvaius said:The 5 watt has been out for a long time. Development on this product is unlikely to progress. The 5 watt white has a limited life w.r.t. light output. The best one for development is the LuxeonIII. It is sitting at 65 lumens when ran at 3W (30% down after 50,000 hours), or 80 lumens at 4W (50% down after 20,000 hours). I think you may need a new insider..... 🙂

Or perhaps I am not saying everything my insider has told me such as things I cannot expand upon at this time. Development continues I assure you.

Great job Flateric, very interesting looking projector. Can't wait for pics of the projector in action. I am considering building a small projector, I have a Sony 50" rp TV that is not working and hope the Delta lenses in the TV could work in building a small projector with an LCD out of a Hip Screen Pad (2.6" tft screen) only looking to project a small 50" picture for now. I'm slowly working up the courage to attempt the build. I have seen small projectors built by ACE 3000_1 and they look FANTASTIC, but a little too complicated for this newbie.
yup
I am not ignoring the requests for operational pictures, my camera is lent to my mom for here trip for a bit. But I will upload as soon as it returns to me.

.. does your insider work for Lumileds?

Great job! :up Can't wait to see screen shots 🙂 If you can include projected image size then that would be great (only needs to be approximate - I'd just like to compare the LED's to my MH setup).
we neeeddd sooommmeeee ppicttures!!!!!!!!!!! a picture is worth a thousand words... i don't know about u..but i aint much for reading.. peace
im with the rest, lets get some pictures of the image! :O ive been messing with the same thing and id love to see what you bave accomplished, also some more pictures of your great looking projector would be nice.

WOAH
Those LEDs are really cool, way bigger then those Luxeonstar ones. Where did you get them ?

flateric,
Any update on your project? Are you able to view your movies with ambient light or is it pitch black in the room?

dont post messages on this page. the bre is just not replying. he might be dead! otherwise why has not replied to bre messages?
Their colour spectrum will not make a good movie. Look at their graph (70cri) Hope they are also working on real white not just brighter leds.
Re: yup
If for some reason he can't, well... that's it. He's not been here for almost 3 months.
Perhaps he’s on holiday or has other priorities.
Remember, you can’t wring others to post if they can’t or don’t want to.

Guys, you all seem very eager to see pictures and flateric promised to show them.flateric said:I am not ignoring the requests for operational pictures, my camera is lent to my mom for here trip for a bit. But I will upload as soon as it returns to me.

I noticed that flateric didn't have his email listed. We cannot email him and ask for pictures. Since people are much interested in this projector, we should ask our mod / admin to send him an email and remind him that he has an obligation to post result because he got all of us hooked 😉
