Hi,
as a simple test, i can easily stare into my white LED flashlight, but
cannot even try to look into the beam coming from the projector. the
difference in brightness is immense.
also, the beam from the LED flashlight is very diffuse. i'm not sure how
this would affect a projected image, but the image would be very dim, indeed.
just seen from observations - no scientific measurements done here.

I was just putzing around trying to find information on DIY projector
solutions, and I saw a thread in a message board talking about a very
good idea for generating light - Ultra Bright White LEDS! They're kinda
pricey (compared to other LEDS, not compared to lamps, though!), but when
clustered they should provide plenty of light, and run a ton cooler,
allowing a much quieter projector! So I figured if you hadn't considered
it already, you might want to.<br><br>
