Projectors By Lumens

Projector lumens are a measure of the brightness of a projector. They are measured in ANSI lumens, which is a standard unit of measurement for projector brightness. The more lumens a projector has, the brighter the image will be.

When choosing a projector, it is important to consider the amount of lumens you need. If you are going to be using the projector in a dark room, you will need a projector with fewer lumens. However, if you are going to be using the projector in a well-lit room, you will need a projector with more lumens.

There are number of factors in addition to lumens to take into consideration when choosing the best projector for your needs. However, based on a 3mtr wide, 16:9 aspect ratio image, assuming you have no ambient light directly hitting your projector screen, then you can use the following room conditions as a guide:

Dark Room : 1500 – 2500 lumens
Dimly lit room : 2500 – 3500 lumens
Well lit room : 3500 – 5000 lumens
Brightly lit room – 5000 lumens and above
