I just watched a video, on the new Christie Duo projection system http://www.christiedigital.com/en-us/cinema/cinema-solutions-case-studies/christie-videos/Pages/Hoyts-Cinema.aspx they just installed two 30k+ lumen projectors in a cinema with a 90 foot wide screen, what I find interesting is that the rep from Christie mentioned that "at 100% power, we can get 6-8 fl across the whole image in 2D so- uh really bright image!".
We all know about the 16fl SMPTE spec, why is he calling an image that is roughly half that a "really bright image"?
Personally, I have found that I do not need a 16fl lambert image to seem bright, if I have a big screen, all I really need is 6-8fl and that does indeed seem "bright" to me in a light controlled room.
