Nuttin by nuttin' as we sit. Initially I have a couple of options (outdoors of course) for temporary screens ranging from 16x32' to 24'x48'. This being a rural part of Canada, thankfully the land rush is not on, preserving a fair number of outdoor theatres. The flip side of that, is some seem to (or a forced to) run on single phase.
My inquiries show an average screen to be say 30x60 to 40x80, 200-250 foot throw. They're using 2,500W-3,000W (even some 2,000) with decent results (no ambient light). I was just poking around your wonderful manual section. I really like the Super80's with the ability to run high-end of single-phase at 3K and then perhaps jump up to what seems to be a preferred 4K for outdoor use should 3-phase become available. Sadly, all of the classic indoors are gone around here. Thanks. ------------------

Dave:The Super Lumex would do fine on a small drive-in screen. I know several that are in use in that application. In the past, I've used a Super Lumex at home with just a 100 watt household light bulb suspended in the center. Let me tell you, the reflector in that lamphouse is so efficient, that I could actually watch a picture on my basement wall, in the daytime, with that setup! ------------------

John, thank you. How about 70mm with one of these new 15K bulbs? I know, outdoors something has to give, and my goal will be to be the best I can be. A smaller, well-kept screen and the best for sound and amenities. Film-Guard too! I've read about some paint techniques once used outdoors to get a little gain.Barry, we have a relationship where we pretty much allow each other to go off on our little tangents. I think I could build it here, but I wonder what the reciprocation would be. I think she wants a greenhouse, ever see a clear-backed screen tower?  Tim, if I said 30x60 with 200' throw for a couple hundred cars, would that fit in with some of the applications you've seen with this lamp? OOPS, my apologies, make that 30x72, I like scope! I see what you mean though, 2.5K with an efficient reflector could be as good as 3K with a worse one, so I should consider that. It would be alot of trouble to get to 3-phase anyway, so 3K is my limit for now. How big's your yard Barry? ;D ------------------
