In the latest issue of Widescreen Review John Bishop recommends Runco dealers use the following light levels for specifying projectors:
Screening Room 16-32 fL
Living Room 32-64 fL
Great Room 80-160 fL
Yeiks! "Kids when you're playing in the great room don't look into the projector or you'll sear your retinas into a chard mass!" How many Runco owners have permanently blinded themselves watching a 160 fL screen?
Seriously, do these seem a bit high? I know in my living room with just a reading lamp or two on watching a movie at 25 fL hurts my eyes. I couldn't imagine what watching at 32 fL would do. Given that you could watch a movie during the day with the windows open at 160 fL is it possible turn down the light output enough for evening viewing?
