Talk:ANSI Lumens

I'm merging this to lumen (unit), because it is clearly not a distinct thing. There is only one kind of lumen. A measurement of the luminous flux of a projector is either accurate or not. That's all there is to it. Presumably one can have greater confidence that a projector tested according to the ANSI standard has been measured correctly, but that doesn't make the "ANSI lumen" a distinct unit—merely a convenient marketing catchphrase to emphasize that the projector was correctly tested.--Srleffler 06:39, 21 December 2006 (UTC)

Also, the claim that "It is not possible to directly compare strengths for projectors where some are expressed in ANSI lumens, and some in non-ANSI lumens" is almost certainly false, and not supported by the references. The ANSI measurements may be more accurate, allowing for fairer comparison, but that is a different matter from claiming that it is not possible to directly compare them at all.--Srleffler 06:50, 21 December 2006 (UTC)
