I see lots written about the Dalite HP (2.9) and Silverstar (effectively about 3.0) "brightness junkie screeens" vs the 1-1.3 gain "purist screens"...but I never see anything about the middle ground.
The Stewart 1.3 has always been the standard bearer it seems, but what if you calculate that you only need a few more ft lamberts to meet your goal? I know Stewart has an "ultimate 1.5 and 2.0" and they are supposed to be fairly honest in their estimations (unlike Carida and Vutec, which are great, but overestimate).
Just pretend that I have done all the proper calculations and talked to enough people to assume that I want to consider this instead of the big jump to the SS or HP. Has any one tried these or similar?
Tryg mentioned the Pearlescent by Dalite at 1.5, but 2.0 sounds like more margin for erreer. I just cant make a HP fit in my scheme due to the retro nature, I need a ceiling mount. I have a RS20 calibrated by Jason coming, and just want more "room to work" with my available lumens as the bulb ages.
For those who still would advise a HP, my best "head height setup" (ie on a table behind the seating which I really don't want) would be 14-18" above my head. My best (lowest) ceiling height would be 44-48" above my head with the PJ mounted 3' further back on the ceiling, extended down enough so it doesn't hit my head.
Let the opinions flow, I couldn't find enough with searching.
