Video Advice by Anthony D. Coppedge Contributing Writer July 15, 2009

In determining the type of projector, and its needed brightness (lumen), the size of the screen and
the amount of light on the screen will have to be taken into consideration.

While I'd like to give the church a direct answer (like "3000 lumen"), it would be inaccurate to
guess. There are additional math and light meter readings that are needed to answer this
question, and we do not have those variables. A consultant or qualified design/build firm with the
necessary metering equipment and mathematical equations is required to accurately detail the
exact needs of the church in our examples.

SUMMARY

I applaud this church for asking questions instead of spending foolishly. They are asking with
limited knowledge and need the help of a professional to know what are the right questions to
ask, and, more importantly, what it will take to provide a solution for them.

Over and over again in my work with churches, I find these same types of questions. The
answers are found through educating the churches in their technology purchases. The more
information they have to make informed decisions, the better stewards they will be with God's
money.

I wish this stuff were simpler. The facts speak for themselves: to do it right, you must take all of
the factors into consideration and look at it as you would a new building program. To do less
would be poor stewards of the money God entrusts to you.
