high lumen fiber optics (metal halie 250 watt)

Found this, and i was wondering if the same principles could be used to bring light together from 2 seperate bulbs to have an overall brighter image? Because the fiber optic wires can be bought close together.

if this will not work, the is there some possibility that some sort of light prism can be used to bend 2 difeerent light sources untill they are unison. probably not. let me know ok guys

I think it is possible to bring 2 light sources together but the light thats coming out of the fiber optics is diffuse.

What is interesting is that the it has a dual parabolic reflector in it and is build for Metal Halide lamps.



It is possible with a beamsplitter and 3 corner cube prisms

cool, thanks g247. I was just thinking then with more brightness travelling through the lcd would different kinds of polarizers be needed? to keep the blacks white instead of the image becoming washed out.

@Arran Just to make it clear.IMHO The diffuse light that you get from the fiber optics isn't what we want for our projectors.
We need a point light source with defined rays. Otherwise the light will get dispersed by the lenses.

ok thanks. i get it now
on the other hand, can someone please explain to me how a dual parabolic reflector works. thanks g247 for your help.

Np. Here you are: http://www.lumenlab.com/forums/index.php?s...15315&st=40

I already tried to build one with no success, so maybe you have found a cheap source for us.

thanks mate i plan on making a neat projector like you have. really good build g247. but i would really like it if they made widescreen panels at that size. lol. laters

Thx. I wish there is a HD Panel that size.
