Question 1

I want to project a 5" x 5" image onto a 6-foot by 6-foot area.  Can this projector make an image that large?

Accepted Answer

It would be a bit of a challenge, but it can be done. I can project an 8' wide by 6' tall image. The room would need to be quite dark with no outside light contamination. As the distance from the wall increases the image intensity and fine detail decreases.

Question 2

Can the image you are projecting from be larger that 5"x5"? ind if so, up to how much larger? Thank you~!

Accepted Answer

The image definitely can be made much larger than 5x5.  My husband and I made images that were 7ft+ tall off of an image that was about 6 inches.  You do it simply by stepping further back with the projector.  However, the farther away you step back the blurrier the lines get.  We were projecting some images with simple lines so it was easy.  The more complicated the image you are trying to trace the fuzzier it will get as you step back to increase the size.  As I said in my review, this is not a projector for a serious artist that wants to make sophisticated drawings.  However, for the crafter that wants to blow up images to trace a mural on a wall or cut images out of plywood (as we did) it works great.  I would be happy to send you some photos of what we created if I knew how to get them to you.  I could send them via Facebook or email.

Question 3

I do custom painted windows on re-claimed windows, would it project an outline (enlarged) onto a window?

Accepted Answer

It would project it THROUGH the window unless you put some paper on the opposite side to the one you are painting. But that's a fairly easy fix, I'd think.  Another alternative that I personally would find to be awesome is to get the glass sandblasted.  The frosted glass would take the outline projection perfectly, and you could use that as an element in your work by leaving some of the frosted portions unpainted.  It would also make it much less likely that the paint would peel later.  I could understand why that wouldn't be practical for a lot of the projects you might try but sounds kinda cool right?Edit: I see Pam there beat me to the paper idea. So I'll see you paper and raise you 3020 Liquid Masking Film 32 oz here on Amazon.  Paint it on the opposite side,  project, trace...  and then when you don't need it anymore, peel it off like cling film.

Question 4

Most of the concerns was the excessive heat from the bulb. What can be substituted to lessen heat and what wattage if led ?

Accepted Answer

I too have had problems with the heat from the bulb curling the drawing I want to project. After reading this I thought of some LED bulbs I had bought from Amazon.  I have a drawing I needed to project on a canvas but knew it would curl before I was done so I tried the LED bulb. It fit perfectly!  The only problem is it a 25 watt equivalent but it worked in a very dark room, it wasn't overly bright but it worked!  My drawing stayed cool and I'm very happy.  I noticed they also carry 40 and 50 watt in the medium screw base (which is what I have).  I need to go start my painting now, but I'll give you the information and you can do some searching for the right watt    .LOHAS LED G14 Light Bulb, 3W Daylight White 5000K LED Energy Saving Light Bulbs, 25 Watt Equivalent LED Lights for Home, E26 Medium Screw Base (6 Pack)
